David asked to have this report shared on social media as a warning for people hiking alone in mountain wilderness, so I'm sharing. But, I must tell you I'm creeped out by this and it gives me the chills because these cases happened where I live in Colorado. David says he's very familiar with this area and I'd like to know more about that. Mainly about the missing people who lived at Mesa Verde which he mentioned perhaps.
Before I post the video I'd like to tell you something of my day. I spent part of the day at a small, pristine lake about 10 miles from my home. It's surrounded by mountains and thick forest. I sat looking at the forest knowing it goes on and on into a vast wilderness area and I thought, anything could be out there, aside from bear and such, more unusual things. I think the mountains here are scary, They're HUGE, wild and so powerful. I would NOT go far alone.
David Lunde disappeared Oct. 2022 while hiking in the mountains. He worked at James Ranch, 5 miles from me and I passed it today. The second case was this past June 24, 2023, Eon O'Brian. Both where very fit young men of 28 and 29 years and disappeared within miles of each other. They haven't been found.
I vaguely recall David Lunde going missing (missing hikers aren't to rare here and are usually found) so I looked up the story and found a third man who went missing on July 17, 2022. David missed one I think. Again, Molas Pass isn't to far from me.
On July 17, 22-year-old Daniel Lamthach, a volunteer for the grueling Hardrock 100 race, went for a run off Molas Pass. He was not prepared for a night in the wilderness. The next day hikers found his cellphone on the Elk Creek Trail. Search and rescuers spent 10 days searching the area with planes and helicopter-dropped crews around the Trinity Peaks area. Severe weather, lightning strikes and a mudslide hindered the search, which officials suspended on July 27 after more than 250 personnel hours spent by the crews with the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control and 600 hours spent by local rescuers.
To add to this creepiness, the poster behind David looks like something I saw one night at a friends house some years ago (in this area). 3 lights flying in a triangle, blackness in-between the lights, no light shining down though. I haven't seen this film yet so maybe more information on that. Chills.
