that isnt good
i am guessing they were on trailies.

but why start out so late isnt it getting dark by that time of day, i know its dark here at 5pm

Poor buggers, good luck to them as it'd be flipping cold out there at night.

i know it's a bit of an "i told you so" but a gps would be frickin useful for them, even one of those simple ones you get off ebay for $130 that have trail tracking capability would be an immense help offroad. It's a bit nerdish but i always take mine (with road mapping capabilities) out with me when i go on a long ride, even if i know the road, who knows wtf will happen.
