[quote=Anonymous]It was obvious to me that heat stroke/hyperthermia was the Occam’s razor from the very start given what facts we knew (109% temps, ridiculously long, steep hike even if you discount baby and  8 year old furry dog), and the only positive thing for me is that the FA, mom-blamer people who didn’t bother to read the reports (it is sadly similar to the Bad Art Friend saga, with people just projecting) were wrong.  I think the dog suffered distress first and was carried up the steep slope by the dad, who was also carrying the baby. He sat to rest with baby and probably unconscious dog, and succumbed along with ailing or close to dead dog and helpless baby, and mom tried to sprint back to car, perhaps after the dithering we would all do, and collapsed.  I’m bet if they realized they’d over-committed and stayed in the valley/river until temperatures were cooler, they would have made it.

They were very fit, but also overconfident and thrill-seekers, it seems. I remember when my Minnesota grandmother used to visit us in Florida in the hot months when we would have sports practice she would yell at my mom about the the danger and mutter “Mad dogs and Englishmen.” I was confused then, but I get it now.
