[QUOTE="MagicMtnDan, post: 333383, member: 2768"] In 1996, a family of German tourists went on vacation in the desert Southwest of the US. They disappeared in Death Valley sometime late July of that year, and despite repeated searches, their remains were not found until 2009 (13 years later!). Tom Mahood details how that happened (link below). It's a long read but will be of interest to some DV, desert and expeditionary types here.
