Are you saying they were 6.3 miles north of I-40 off of Kelbaker Road? I don't see where Hidden Hills intersects there? Does it?

OP did not reference Hidden Hills Rd -- only the location of the 5-wheel trailer on Kelbaker Rd to I-40. From their map, it appears the trailer was about 2 miles north of Kelso Dunes trailhead landmark (4 mi) but before the Kelso Depot Info Center (Kelso Cima Rd).Are you saying they were 6.3 miles north of I-40 off of Kelbaker Road?

Isn't a dispatch log a record of 'dispatch', as opposed to a record of calls?

Which post is being referred to? Thanks!
Good, I’m glad they’re actively pursuing this. Where she was ultimately found, pretty much tells us what this is."The coroner's office couldn't confirm her exact location in the desert in relation to their hiking path. We are still digging for more information, however, so we will update the story as we find out more."

Excerpt from an observer's post during the search efforts:
I confirmed on Saturday with the Sheriff the precise location where the Thompsons had parked their 5th Wheel, the same location they had set up. I'll try posting Google Earth pics and pics of the environment if anyone is interested. It was NOT 20 miles north of I40 like the reports says and like the speculation on this thread and all over social media goes, (the media everywhere repeated or regurgitated this over 10 days without fact checking). The location is 6.3 miles north of the I-40 in a large turnout that can accommodate a Dually and 5th Wheel. There is a nonmotorized trail directly opposite of that turnout that leads to the closest rock formations which contain lots of nooks and crannies which you can see were searched by the SARS folks.

Looks like the 'we' in that tweet refers to the media, as opposed to the police. Hopefully police and coroner are also 'digging for more information', imo.Good, I’m glad they’re actively pursuing this. Where she was ultimately found, pretty much tells us what this is.
What would be the closest route from where she was last seen to Essex Rd, not the center of town?
Perhaps Hidden Hill Rd, Essex, CA 92332 to Essex, California 92332 - Google MapsWhat would be the closest route from where she was last seen to Essex Rd, not the center of town?
Using the MOJ map for consistency and OP onsite during the search that provided the 5th wheeler at 6.3 miles from I-40, I estimate, about 28 - 30 road miles. (Essex Rd to Kellbaker Rd about 22 miles).What would be the closest route from where she was last seen to Essex Rd, not the center of town?
