So they called KSL TV and invited them to send a reporter to interview Marilyn. Art Lang and Dan McCool left Lambert Meadow, where they had encountered the sheep herd, on the morning of Thursday, August 11th, day four of the search for Eric Robinson. The Highline Trail drops down a hill there and meets the Lake Fork River.
Search and rescue missions in Australia are usually coordinated at the state level. Rachel didn't understand the American system, where it happens at the county level. And she didn't realize rural Duchesne County had such a limited staff.
Mum had been in contact with Eric's hiking friends that he'd met by the John Muir Trail, Julia and Devin.
But she came very close to her breaking point. Marilyn and Rachel were in the air again a short time later, headed for Salt Lake City. They arrived there on the afternoon of Thursday, August 11th, day four of the search for Eric.
Rachel's encouragement reminded Marilyn of the day she had crossed the Rong La Pass with Eric in Nepal. She heard his words in her head. You can do it, hen. She took a deep breath, stood, and embraced her daughter. The two of them then went in search of their luggage. It didn't take long to sort out what had happened.
But when they reached the carousel, their bags weren't there. Maryland had brought a big empty suitcase because she feared Eric might be dead and she would need the space to transport his possessions back home. But that suitcase, and her own, were nowhere to be seen. She hadn't even made it to Utah yet, and already she felt as if she had failed.
Elk were nearly hunted out of the Uintas in the late 1800s. They've rebounded, but a Uinta Highline hiker is still far more likely to run into thousands of sheep than they are just a few elk. Eric Robinson's outdoor ethic mirrors my own. He intended to leave no trace. But that meant when he disappeared, the people who went out to search for him had very little to go on.
