[quote=Anonymous]They started the hike early, and I think they did not intend for it to turn into an all-day ordeal.  After all, they'd been living in the area for about a year, right?  They knew how the heat quickly built up, and they had to know about the fire that killed all the trees along the hike.  They knew their older dog wouldn't manage a strenuous hike in high heat.  They knew their baby needed supplies.

We will never know what caused them to continue hiking into the heat.  I went on a little hike in the New Mexico desert.  It was terrifying.  It was hot as hell, brown scrub and brown rocky soil everywhere, I was worried about rattlesnakes and I was not comfortable in the heat.  We passed a dog skeleton by the side of the trail, with a collar still around its neck.  Terrible.  I'm sure that's a fairly common sight in very hot dry areas.  I sure as hell wouldn't have taken an older dog and a baby for a day-long hike in those kinds of conditions, and pretty sure they did not intend to do that either.[/quote]
