Except the other guy's story stinks. What experienced hiker chases after his own dog in bare feet in the woods? Who waits 2 days to report a friend missing after losing them in the woods? Sounds like BS to me.
Supposedly, the friend also was in bare feet when he made his way back to the trailhead.
Heard that somewhere — don’t know if its true.
And the firefighter was supposedly barefoot at the time..the story of his friends just stinks to high heaven, never bought the story
