Ah, so he a) was a firefighter, b) was physically fit, and c) had extensive back-country experience --- and, d) no one knows why he would end up like this. hmmm, I'll bet there is a logical reason for it, or he was just really unlucky. Kind of mysterious. I'm planning my share of exploring so hopefully someone can relay some answers so people like me won't meet a similar fate.

Where he was isn't your typical mountain hiking trail. I fly over that area regularly between Burbank and San Jose and am amazed at how rugged that really isolated territory really is. You really have to want to be there. He probably chased after the dog so it wouldn't suffer the same fate he did.
