This story has taken on a life of its own and has almost become an urban legend. I called the Baldy Visitor's Center this morning. This incident did NOT take place on any hiking trail as reported in the media. It happened in the Bear-Stoddard area below Baldy Village. The folks at the Center are rather amused by the "tweaked" information (or lack of?).

It looked like the Barrett-Stoddard road turn off Baldy Rd on the news. Someone in a turnout?

After hiking Cucamonga and Etiwanda Peaks on Sunday, Sept. the 30th, I left the Icehouse parking lot at approximately 4:15pm. Between Baldy Village and the tunnels there were several Sheriff vehicles and paramedics parked along a turnout. It may have been the Stoddard Truck Trail. I didn't want to be one of those who slows to gawk so this is all I observed.
