Further, your story does nothing to establish that they actually CAMPED. Why did rangers never come upon their tent in the early evening as they try to do, to check permits and make sure all is well?

Your post from AMW differs from my original post only in saying that they obtained permits first for two days, then five more...where mine (from memory) says they obtained them first for five days...then three more.

BOTH STORIES STATE ONLY THAT PERMITS WERE OBTAINED. Neither story says that any ranger ever actually saw their tent pitched, or where they were or had been camping.

Nothing was seen of that nature until 8:30 pm on Sat. June 1, and by then their bodies indicated they had been dead (officially) for nearly 6 days, though other stories I have read say that med examiners can really only say they had been dead somewhere between 5 and 7, or 8, days....

You post incorrect "facts" in your story and then draw the conclusion that because of a lack of evidence to the contrary, they must have met up with Gary Condit or his minions in Luray or DC. Talk about "shooting at targets of opportunity"!
