Not looking good. I have been in that area hunting. If you lost GPS all you had to do for the most part is walk downhill and follow the main creek to Trujillo meadows lake. Hoping for the best but while it is a rough country area it is an easy place to find a way out unless you get disoriented.

Is this true? I've seen the same pictures say they were in NM and MT.
Hell, I guess I hope it is a hoax for their sake.

Tried to find but it was pulled down. It was not an actual post, but a post referencing ones that said NM and MT. So I guess I should've figured it out on my own.

What a terrible shame, young guys with so much left to do. It’s eerily familiar for me. Two kids, at the time in their early 20s, both of whom knew since they were young, went briefly missing on the shores of Lake Tahoe during a lightning storm. They were found deceased, and lightning was assumed until the tox screens came back, and they had both somehow ODd on some opiate cocktail. Same result in the end, a ton of suffering for their families. RIP young men.

I was talking about the lightning strike being cause of death
When i saw the 2 mile thing that's when I really suspected lightning as in any direction from trailhead would put them at timberline for the most part. What a shame. Most anyone reading this who's been hunting at timberline has been in a situation no different except they didn't win the unlucky lottery. Just awful. Just remember if in a bad lightning storm get that bow out of your hands and away from you. Carbon limbs are highly conductive so you're holding a lightning rod. Fishing rod is no different.
I found 2 old guys in a skiff after I told everyone on the lake to get off, from an aluminum patrol boat. They did limit out....
Been knocked out by a strike. Woke to bruises from the hail. Hit a rock 100 yards away.
Lightning is not anything to take lightly.
