概要
The Boot on the Granite: How He Walked Away Without a Shoe

The sight was ordinary and impossible: a single dry leather boot, right foot, laces tied, sitting on an otherwise dew-soaked granite shelf-found at 6:40 a.m. on September 14, 2019-while the man who owned it had been missing for two days. How could search teams walk past that boot in the dark and later find the owner alive with an explanation that still left the coordinator unsettled?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from a routine hike signed at 9:17 a.m. to a choice to investigate a thin column of smoke that pulled a precise, experienced hiker off his route. We trace the terrain, the search decisions made by the county SAR coordinator, and the unanswered question that stayed with the rescuers: what really happened between the granite shelves and Briar Basin?

Person: Larry Petersen
Date: September 12-14, 2019
Location: Whetstone Basin trail / granite shelves above 6,000 feet
Status: Found alive after two days missing
Coordinator: Ruth Stein

- The boot was discovered by Patricia Mills on September 14, 2019 at 6:40 a.m., dry on wet granite.
- Larry Petersen signed the trail register at 9:17 a.m, on September 12, 2019 declaring Larkspur Lake as his destination.
- Larry was 55 years old, a retired civil engineer, with 30 years of backcountry hiking experience.
- The search was formally launched at 11:00 a.m. on September 13 after Frank Dubois reported Larry’s truck remained at the trailhead.
- Two cadaver-detection dogs (a Belgian Malinois and a black Labrador) searched the Larkspur Lake inlet and found no trace of Larry.
