When you said the trail markers were nonexistent, it hit on a weird policy some wilderness areas have. They keep signs sparse to make the place feel more untouched and push better route finding. I ran into this in the Selway-Bitterroot where they let trails fade on purpose to cut down on crowds. It's frustrating for safety, but it does change how you plan trips. Your map might show a path, but on the ground it's just a general idea you have to piece together.

Wait, are you sure it's the heat? That sounds more like a moisture issue to me, maybe from steam.

What drove the need to check fan theories so often?
