    That road sees snowmobile traffic. Walking about a mile would get you to a summer home that you could break into if you were dying and needed better shelter. Walking ~6 miles would get you to the plowed road trailhead. Like I said, it gets enough snowmobile traffic it wouldn't be that hard to get somewhere even if you didn't have skis or snowshoes.
    Winter before last a guy died in his camp on Shasta barely a mile from the Bunny Flat TH. People can make really shitty decisions when hypothermia sets in.

    Mysterious death of three campers in Colorado

    Aren’t we assuming they died from exposure (freezing/hypothermia)? It just takes one bad night of being drunk and making bad drunken decisions.

    Why no vehicle. They hitched or walked in?

    Lots of questions, no answers. Seems if it was exposure they would at least all three be huddled together inside the tent.

    No. People go crazy and think they are hot when they are dying of hypothermia.

    They were actual real witnesses to the Biden crimes with actual real evidence. But they were recovering from trans reading hour and died from shame.

    Heat stroke
    There's nothing better than sliding down snow, flying through the air

    If the environment got all three of them close together, I'd expect a contributing factor, like they were all really stoned. Although in the mystery a couple years ago, the heat stroke did get all three, and the dog.

    I imagine there will be more info, once the Group Found story gets matched up with its corresponding Group Lost story.

    Being close to a popular snowmobile route might not have helped if there was a big enough weather event that snowmobilers weren't getting out much. I recall a hypothermia fatality (one or two other group members survived; inexperienced XC skiers wearing blue jeans) close to Castle Pass in CA, 2 miles, all downhill, to Interstate 80 via one of the country's most popular ski/snowshoe/posthole trails, (and one mile from a then-unlocked Sierra Club hut); but with a storm having just rolled in, all those other recreationists ditched the area and the guys were on their own long enough to get into trouble.

    People keep saying this or that was close by, but like with McCandless, if you don't know shit is there it might as well be a million miles away.

    Yeah. Setting aside McCandless (who purposely didn't bring maps, as part of his adventure concept), it seems like most people these days rely on electronic maps and navigation, if anything. And smartphones have a tendency to die suddenly and unexpectedly in cold weather.

    Until we know more about who they are and why they were there we have no idea what the odds of them having these issues are/would be.

    SJG, do you think lax firearm laws and unlocked cars were a contributing factor?

    Do you think carrying a gun would have saved them?
