Escalante Slot Canyons & a Drone-Assisted Family Rescue! | Ep 88

For the first time, Brendon has taken Photog Adventures through the Slot Canyons in Escalante. Drew and Brendon hit up Spooky Gulch and Peek-a-Boo Slot. Sharing first impressions of the drive there and the challenges of hiking the area and how they definitely brought too much gear along with them on the hikes. They make Aaron jealous as they describe the many arches down there and a spot that would be just amazing for a vertical Milky Way that we definitely have to do before the season is over!

Then after all the waxing poetic and romantic about the amazement of the experience, they describe a harrowing experience where a mother and two little kids frantically approaches them as they are leaving the canyon. This mother split up from her parents and daughter trying to find a way out of the canyon with her two little kids but now the parents and daughter have not made it up yet! It had been three hours since they ran out of water and this woman was scared for the real possibility of losing her family to the elements! Between Drew's Drone and the experience of Mountain Goat Hartely, the guys are able to locate the missing half of the family and give Hartley the exact position to go find this family to rescue them and help them out safely.

The description doesn't do the story justice, listen to the podcast, it makes you excited to be a part of humanity hearing how everyone grouped their talents together to rescue this family.
