Again?
I didn’t know that there was such a strong wanderlust for the hills of Iran.
Oh, these are the same hikers from years ago.
My mistake
They were hiking in Iraq and accidentally crossed the border. In the beautiful mountains there. I’m serious, they really are pretty. Not as nice as Montana but much more exotic. I bet if you went to some hiking message board you’d find Trust Funders pimping places like Iraq and Azerbaijan.
That was my thought. With the back country above Yosemite and the Sierras close by, and Kings Canyon, and the hiking country in the Olympic Peninsula just a whole lot more accessible ..... those guys had to go there and find whatever it was.
If they were CIA or Special Forces, they wouldn't have been caught.
I agree with the other poster, it sounds like a political gesture that they're now wearing all over their faces. Screw 'em.
