And when he emerges on the other side, out in front of him sloping down to a lake is this unbelievable boulder field that practically takes his breath away. But that was not the thing that really got his attention.

Instead, as he's taking in these boulders and this unbelievable view of the mountains in the distance and this lake, he noticed there was a man sitting on a rock fairly far across this boulder field with his back to Brian, just staring at the lake. Now, remember, this is like the middle of nowhere, and Brian certainly was not expecting to come across any other person on this journey.

And so naturally he thought, okay, I need to go up and make sure this guy is okay, or if nothing else, I want to talk to him. I mean, this is a very rare thing to come in contact with other people out here. And so Brian began walking towards the sky to see what was going on. Well, that man was the missing hiker, Mike Turner. My goodness, did Mike Turner have a story to tell.

But to understand Mike's story, we need to go back 29 days to the point when Andy the dog had taken off running from Mike and he had gone into the boulder field and Mike had emerged through those trees and seen the boulders, he'd seen his dog, and he began climbing onto that first rock to begin making his way towards his dog.

So Mike, he gets up on that rock and he begins hopping from boulder to boulder to boulder. And at first it's going fine. He gets about halfway across the boulder field. He's yelling to Andy to stay put and he's kind of making his way, it's all good. But then he reaches this one particularly large boulder that when he jumped onto it, it was kind of unstable and it began to wobble under his feet.

But then he reaches this one particularly large boulder that when he jumped onto it, it was kind of unstable and it began to wobble under his feet.

And so instinctively, Mike tried to leap off of the wobbly boulder onto another boulder that was right nearby. but when he jumped, he sort of undershot the second boulder and so did not land on it and stay put on it. Instead, he kind of hit the face of the second boulder and slipped down to the ground. didn't hurt Mike, he's just now on the ground in this small space between the boulders.

However, unfortunately, the wobbly boulder right behind Mike, well, it didn't just continue to wobble, it wobbled to the point where it rolled forward and literally came to a rest against the second boulder that Mike had just jumped onto and failed to land on top of. Basically, wobbly boulder impacted second boulder, sandwiching Mike between them. Critically, it did not harm Mike.

This is going to take some explaining, but it'll make sense after I go through it. Wobbly Boulder had what looked like almost a U-shaped cutout on the face of the Wobbly Boulder. Like imagine a perfectly round boulder, but there's like a divot kind of sitting on the front of it.
