@Redondo  Who in their right mind hikes in 108 degree weather and starts at noon.  This is Darwinism for hikers.

 

Woman found dead on Scottsdale hiking trail after separating from partner

 

If you walk or hike in the heat you have to adjust for the weather and not do it after certain temperatures 

Once you open your car door and the heat hits you that's a sign. Walking from your car to the grocery store doesn't count

[gotbeer]

So the rest of the state's national parks is open....but Southern Calolfornia's.  All of the NP's in So Cal remain closed for an extra week due to fire, when the weather is getting cooler.

Anybody following this story.  Another weird hiking story.  Not as bizarre as the other, but the end outcome will probably be the same.  

Woman reported missing after fiancé returns from trip without her

So it sounds like the chick is a piece of work.  Before I was thinking foul play.  But she might have been bat shit crazy enough to just have stormed off into the forest.

Yeah, San Bernardino peak should be opening up soon also.  Closed because of the dumbshits who had a gender reveal party and started the blaze.

Man, she does seem like a piece of work.

Getting even more bizarre.

Then there is this little tidbit.

 

Why Isn't Boyfriend Talking In Gabby Petito Case? Legal Expert Gives His Take

In another bizarre twist to the case, police in Utah are also looking into a double murder in which two women were killed at a campsite around the same time Petito and Laundrie got into a fight at the Moab co-op where the women worked.

So instead of the manpower focused on finding her.  They have a lot trying to find him.

Saw a big skunk on my walk this morning. Had to freeze and give him time to into the bushes without startling him. He was about 15-20 feet in front of me and it was dark. Saw him with the flashlight 

A few weeks ago I saw a Bobcat run out of the bushes in front of me. About 25-30 feet away. Again it was in the dark.

Same day there was a coyote watching me from above the rocks

I've been seeing a lot more animal activity at the River I usually go to.  It's probably because it's dryer than shit, there is a water source, and the range to the west burned pretty heavily last year.  The bad thing is, a lot of bears and seems to be more mountain lions.  Although the bears are the ones that concern me the most, since all are assholes that are probably related to cats.

That's exactly what the skunk would have done to me, lol

News conference just announced that they found a body that they think is Gabby.  So the dude probably killed her, and probably offed himself in the forest or went grizzly adams.

If you have fire-breathing skunks where you live then it’s clearly time to move.

I'm sure it would feel like fire to be sprayed

They get run over here at times and just driving past and getting that smell is horrible

Yeah, if you got sprayed by a skunk.  I'd just sit down for a few days and cry.  I'd be on the trail, and people would ask if I needed help, then as they get closer, they'd be like, "Oh".  And give me their peak beers out of pity.

I found that skunk one trip.  And the deer and bighorn sheep.  I'll try harder tomorrow, and try and find a bear.

That’s more like it!

[gotbeer]

Sorry @Tank  I failed you.  Best I could get was a deer.  Although when I got there, all the trash cans were rifled through by the trail, so I might have just missed the bear.  But it was probably just a coon.  Which oddly I saw 3 of by my house on the drive in.
