[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They made frantic calls for a half hour from where they were found. Why didn’t one of the adults leave the other two and run to the car for supplies or to drive it back in the trail? Why did neither fill their water bottles when they were basically following the river for hours? [/quote]

Because in those temperatures without shade, with an uphill return climb ahead, and no trees to give cover even by the river, no amount of water (except maybe buckets of ICE water) would have helped. Their bodies reached a point where they could no longer sweat enough to cool off sufficiently, hence their organs began to shut down.

Judgment goes first. Nevertheless, in a delirious and weakened state, it seems the mom DID try what you suggested — to leave the others and run to the car/cell reception. But she only made it fifteen feet up the embankment.

This is incredibly tragic. The text shared in the above article breaks my heart.

On hot shadeless days, it is disturbingly easy not to realize the danger you’re in until you’re already past the point of no return. [/quote]
