I expect that he will be dead by Monday morning.
Well, we’ll see. If someone’s truck is found burning on a “service road” (in other words mountain access) he either ditched it on purpose and burned it because he had another vehicle and wanted a distraction, or he’s one hell of a lousy driver.
I’m guessing that he knew all the highways were covered, so he climbed Big Bear, got a better 4X4 vehicle, burned the other one so the cops would crowd it for a few hours, and probably blew through Lucerne Valley and into the desert matrix of offroad area before the Big Bear folks had the sense to radio ahead.
I’m thinking that he was probably in the military once and knows 29 Palms/Bicycle Lake and has a good weeks worth of food, a 4X4 vehicle, and a place to hide under. Not hard to find if you look.
He’s getting ready for a long hibernation.
