A guy traveling in the opposite direction dressed in 'street clothes', no pack nothing, hours in from the campground parking? He ask how far it was to the lake? Hours and the sun is going down.
We had planned to camp on the trail but humped in the dark to the car.
Yes, I was carrying, but that did not make me feel good about anything.
maybe they came upon muslim/terrorists or antifa-blm/terrorist training site.
[Hiking out from climbing, my wife and I with our kids, Colorado in the fall about a foot of snow on the ground.

My dad grew up in the N. Fla backwoods and always rambled around in isolated areas after he retired just as a way to get out of the house if nothing else.
He came across a pile of empty fertilizer bags deep in the woods one day and high tailed it out of there. He didn’t see any pot plants (not that he would necessarily know what they were), but there wasn’t any other reason for someone to be using fertilizer that far into the woods. He always had a gun in the truck, he said you never knew who you would run into back in the woods.
Not long before he died (at 91) he was worried about me and the wife going to an isolated area to picnic by some springs because there were what he called a couple of outlaw families in the area. I told him not to worry, we’d be careful, I had a 9MM pistol packed along with the food. Dad taught me more than a few things about life.
How old is the son? Did I miss it?
Was the son the shooter>
Shot two other people to make it look like a mad man was on the loose?
I am familiar with that region, as I spent a lot of time up there over the years as my family has a cabin a few miles up the road from there.
About 10 or more years ago we were talking to a ranger who said that the “Reno crowd” had discovered the area and that trouble ensued. This incident could be an outgrowth of that development.
Fundraising for what?
I normally carry when I hike. If I am hiking with my friend Sam, and he is carrying, I normally don’t.
I recall hiking one time and encountering a bearded man an a woman (non-bearded) who were carrying a rifle, tent, huge bottle of alcoholic beverage. No packs, just loose in their arms. Not a comforting sight. Next day spotted the man walking alone beside the road carrying a rifle. Just strange.
One never knows what kind of crazies that are out there.

Downieville in particular, up on State Route 49 and well past the split for Route 20 to take you to Rt 80 doesn't have much of an economy. The shooter is likely involved with illegal marijuana crops or meth.
