High Sierra Topix

"Dogs refuse to search" ??
I say fiction.

When it comes to things like this, you usually need to look no further than the source. So... fiction.

While the author claims his book(s) to be non-fiction, I think it's fiction all the way. While there may be a fact or two hidden in there, he has wrapped those few facts with a large web of fiction.

What fun! Too bad the writing is awful, and that makes me less willing to buy into the rest of the story.

I did like the story of the two year old who covered 12 miles in 19 hours and "had to have been running" at approximately .6 miles per hour...

uh huh.

bull. how many swamps are there in the Sierra? written by someone who has no clue how search and rescue works.

"Yosemite National Park near San Jose"

LOL!

Fictional. Along the same lines as how the Bermuda Triangle was invented by Charles Berlitz as a plot device for a story in the science fiction magazine Argosy. Then the legend took off with many people believing it as fact, and subsequent authors cherry picking real events, altering details, then inserting them into their book 'proving' the original story.

There are some inexplicable phenomena in the backcountry, but large numbers of missing people are not one of them.
