[quote=desmond]Here’s what I think: After the shootouts in Corona and Riverside he knew he could not drive on the highways. He headed up toward the mountains.[/quote]Why didn’t he head east towards Arizona?? Only FBI operates across state boundaries.. from there make a run to Mexico across land? That tells me that Mexico was not his intended destination.. it was a diversion.

I doubt he had a car planted up there because: You don’t put a car in the mountains up a one-way road that does get use and would be seen by the forest service or passers by. The roads are very steep and icy up there, I live at the same elevation travel those roads all the time with my quad, a regular car has no chance.[/quote]I ski and hike that area. A lot of it is paved, not dirt. The tracks going to where the vehicle was burned are straight.. no coming off sideways from the vehicle. Front tire was straight. Didn’t look like a spinout. It also looked like it was just off of a more traveled and wider road. It is also not a one-way road.. though it was narrow. Hikers regularly park on the side of some of the roads. It just depends upon which mountain you are trying to bag. BTW, I think they mentioned that the vehicle was between Bear Mountain and Snow Summit ski resorts, closer to Bear Mountain.
