I have studied that post (#24) carefully, and it makes no real points, except what had already been responded to about the camping permits. I stand on my story, the AMW story is probably mistaken, in part because its two-and-five reaches to the 26th, not the 27th as that story admits was their paid-to date, so my five-and-three adds to the required eight. Furthermore my 5-and-3 is taken from several published stories and I am standing by it.

Their friends say their plan was to come down from the Park on the 24th, which agrees with my five; and Mr Winans had also expected them to leave the park on that day, both are agreeing with my statement that five days was the original planned term.

The rest of his post is just a personal attack upon me.

What a screen name!

I also stand on the accuracy of my story based on several other published reports, though I am aware that still others do disagree and give some support to what is in post 24.

It is IMO particularly important to note that Mr Winans definitely did report this case missing oon th 27th, and the 880 yards is the distance from the paved, main road Skyline Drive to the body finding spot, not the distance to the Lodge which is much closer, say 220 yards.
