Retelling by The Sentinel
|
A sudden lightning storm brewed on the last day of the trip, and a nearby lightning strike simultaneously disabled the group's keys and started a forest fire. The group set off emergency flares, but were overwhelmed by smoke before rescuers had an opportunity to respond. The fire subsequently took nearly a week to extinguish. |
