David will no longer go to such locations without a satellite beacon device and a loaded firearm. If you have children with you--DO NOT let them out of your sight.
And even at that--there have been convincing, multi person seen instances of a toddler about 5-8 or so feet ahead of the parents on a trail in broad daylight--and one second the toddler is there on the trail in full view and the next second, the toddler has blinked out--totally disappeared. NOT off the side of the trail; NOT fell in a hole; NOT StarTrek faded out--just instantly disappeared--and no sign can be found for an extended distance from that spot.
Yosemite is one of the National Parks with one of the largest numbers of such disappearances in the world.
wow, I knew nothing about this..

Not to worry, darling Jocko, I'm getting too old to do the back country trails any more, nor do we have the time. Girlfriend has never seen Yosemite other than in Ansel Adam prints so we are going for the weekend and staying outside the park, taking a bus tour inside the park, so unless you hear something about a whole busload falling into a Twilight Zone hole, we'll be OK.
So far the only hole I've found is in AT&T's cellular coverage. None in Yosemite.
