[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two healthy adults and a healthy dog don't really die suddenly from heatstroke in 110 weather, do they? I mean, many people all over the world live in those environments and travel, work outside, etc. I just don't think this is likely at all, at least not without other major complicating factors. [/quote] The people who live in those environments physically adapt to the conditions. These are pasty folks who live in San Francisco for decades until they moved to the Sierra foothills in 2020. I had originally thought it was poison. But I’ve now come around to the heat stroke theory given the temps that day and the disorientation caused by heat stroke. They thought they’d finish the hike a lot quicker and then something happened. My guess is that the dog got injured or overheated. If they followed the trail down to the river, they’d have to climb up up nearly 2000 vertical feet (I looked at the topo maps). The main portion of the climb coming back was on the southern slope fully exposed to the sun with no shade at all - just a brown dirt trail and brown scrub lands (look on Google maps satellite view).
