AAAAAAiiiiiiieeeeeeeee! EEETs Heem! Heem! Make it go away!

Look. We did the back roads in Colorado trying to find out parcel of the Hartsel Ranch.

We drove a 1973 Caprice. One thing I know for certain: we'd never try going back were we came from.

I looked up Tunnel #5 & 6 on Hwy 6 out of Golden Colorado. No way does the topo-map do justice to my favorit haunt.

I'm exceedingly reluctant to concede that it was impossible to Y or W turn the Saab on Bear Camp Road. Nevertheless, and that notwithstanding, I believe I've already said that once getting on one of those "roads" there's no looking back whatsoever.

As far as the latter part of your post: that little thing should've been going off in his head like bonkers; I think that only goes off with son's in the car (not wives and baby daughters). Do we know who was driving? Suppose he woke up after a hard night of lines, and heard, "Dear, you got us stuck, again. I told you 'bout that. How many time? Did I tell you not to do that? I told you 'bout that."

I don't know. He spent nine days in the car with 'em. That is a HERO in my book. YOU spend NINER days in the car with wife, and two babies: and that's not a hero?

Growel. Grind. Grind. Grind. "Dear, what's that blood leaking out of the corner your mouth?" "Nothing. Believe me, dear, its REALLY nothing." "Well, I believe that you should have that looked at. When we get back to town, I'm going to have you see Doc Johanson. Frieda said he's really the cat's pajamas. Really. I thinkin I'm going to have her set you up an appointment with Margaret who knows the receiptionist really well."

I actually believe that therapy is working. I can FEEL it working...

>>>>>The driver should've known after the first 300yds when branches were scraping across the top of the vehicle, moreover after passing 4 signs warning of doom, after decending a slope, crossing a stream and then struggling to climb a long and lonely trail that something was afoot.

If they wanted to get out, they could've gotten out before it was too late. Perhaps there was something more nepharious afoot than a mere mistake. Just who was driving the car? Who was asleep, and had anybody been doing any drugs?<<<<<<<

I will be kind to you and not mention the reference to drugs, although I am worried that I am getting to be a pushover in my old age.

As for the rest of that, it really looks to me like the only conclusion that it comes to is that they must have seen something is wrong, so they must have been dumb not to go back. If not back, which way? It is obvious you think that they should not have continued.

Now in this recent post >>>>We drove a 1973 Caprice. One thing I know for certain: we'd never try going back were we came from. <<<

I am really confused.

I am not going to ask you what I should do if I found myself on such a road in a snow storm with the axles dragging the snow, but for the education of all of the nice people on this thread, would you please explain?

If you should not continue and you should not go back.......

It is now being reported that he walked 16 miles not 10 miles. The car was not that close to Bear Lake Lodge. The car was close to 7 miles from Bear Lake Lodge. It was because of a mapping error.

That is some really serious hiking for someone in his condition and situation - just unbelievable.
