Hmm. So it's plausible he went to both? I could see him going to the water to get cleaned up maybe and then moving on to find help.
If Bryce walked to the waters edge and back, then continued on to the other side of the marina, the dogs would not be able to tell you that. Say I were to walk from point A to point B, then back to point A on the same trail, the dog would only be able to tell you that I walked from A to B or from B to A, but not in which order or how many times. Only foot prints would tell you that.
I think it is plausible that Bryce walked to the waters edge, then back and continuing to the other side of the marina where the trail finally petered out. Perhaps the walk to the waters edge may have been to get his thoughts together after the failed attempt to circumnavigate the gates on the boat ramp road and subsequent crash, then with a plan in his head, started off to the exit road on the other side.
