We shopped at that Safeway when we were in PV in March. We had gotten ahead of some snow & rented a house so we rushed to get groceries. That night they got 8” of snow. Left Omaha & 50 degree weather for snow in Arizona.

Always need to carry some sort of tools. Mine for such hikes is 357 Magnum.

Was MHI on the scene?
If they were than it was most likely a werewolf attack.🤔
