[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean I don't think 107 degrees dry heat is that hot for young, fit, outdoorsy, experienced desert hikers.  Baby and dog definitely would have had a problem with that level of heat.  But all four?  Also, wouldn't heat stroke show up in an autopsy?

Is this a troll post? In what world is 107 degrees not "that" hot... even if it's a DRY HEAT.[/quote]

DP. Having grown up with this kind of weather: 107 dry heat feels better than 94 with 80% humidity that we get in DC. But, and 8.5 mile hike in 100+ dry heat carrying a 1 year old that includes 5 miles of steep, exposed terrain is a death trap. If they indeed did that whole hike, it’s almost certainly heat stroke. When I first heard this story I just assumed they did a short 1-3 mile hike early in the morning, because the notion of doing a difficult 4-5 hr hike at 100+ degrees with a baby just seemed beyond stupid. But: people can be very stupid. And sometimes it kills them. [/quote]
