OK thank you, I did not know that important point. I hope it doesn't sound like I am victim blaming, I'm not. I'm questioning BT going into the desert in clothing not well-protecting for the desert which indicates to me that she didn't intend to be there long. 2 miles is a long way in the blazing sun. I'm questioning this disconnect. If she were from Minnesota, for example, I'd think well maybe she just didn't know. But she's from Bullhead City, she presumably knows that the desert is like. So in my head, BT didn't intend to walk very far at all. Certainly not 2 miles.
And not off trail among the flesh-poking vegetation. This is why I don’t think she’s concealed by shrubbery; it would have been an ordeal to get there, IMO, based on @sroad’s comprehensive description of the trail being well-marked and wide enough for a vehicle. She wasn’t bushwhacking. IMO.
