The Impossible Hike8:31 – 11:49

Dana GoodyearHost

8:31

We go over the lip of the canyon into the dense brush.

Dana GoodyearHost

8:34

Ed's in front, clipping.

Dana GoodyearHost

8:36

We're behind him, crawling on our hands and knees.

EdGuest

Dana GoodyearHost

8:43

Yeah, you made a good path here.

E

EdGuest

8:46

I hope so.

E

EdGuest

8:47

It's been a while.

E

EdGuest

8:50

You want to get one of those coyote trails if you can.

Dana GoodyearHost

8:52

Mm-hmm.

E

EdGuest

8:53

That'd be the optimal.

Dana GoodyearHost

8:56

We pick our way along a ridge, then drop into the creek bed.

Dana GoodyearHost

8:59

It's filled with massive boulders and six-foot-tall saplings.

Dana GoodyearHost

9:04

E

EdGuest

9:08

How long have we been hiking?

Dana GoodyearHost

9:09

E

EdGuest

9:13

I wouldn't call it hiking.

Dana GoodyearHost

9:14

Hi-

E

EdGuest

9:14

I would call it, uh, crawling.

Dana GoodyearHost

9:15

That's what I would call it, too.

Dana GoodyearHost

9:16

Crawling, sliding on our butts.

E

EdGuest

9:19

Oh, this is better here.

Dana GoodyearHost

Halley keeps checking the GPS app on her phone, which is loaded with the coordinates of the remains site.

Dana GoodyearHost

9:26

The little arrow representing our position is still ridiculously far away.

Dana GoodyearHost

9:32

We press on, but it's starting to seem like we might never get there.

Dana GoodyearHost

9:36

Ed's been saying, "Just 200 more yards," for what feels like hours.
