These images are the clearest I've seen and do match up with the mysterious video that was posted earlier this evening IMO.
For them to travel from where the RAV4 was burnt out east of Gillam all the way backwards and south around Split lake to York landing which is approx. 200 km by road..... And by not taking the road in The Fairy and going south around the lake would definitely be bushwhacking through hell. And I might be 200 kilometers but it's 200 km a bush, brush,Thicket, Skaggs, bugs, and Wildlife some of which could eat you. That's what I was talking about beforeDont think theyd really have to 'bushwhack' though. Its no trail but its kept somewhat clear for access and stuff. Not sure about the scrag either but idk, maybe they picked a rise or dry spot (do dry spots exist up there right now lol) for the pylons.
Maybe Im just looking for the "fun" answer because "they did something totally un-interesting and just happened by luck to not be seen" seems anti-climatic after more than a week of this lol
Also its just, super direct so maybe subconsciously thats making me think it would be easier than it would be. tried to find some pics of the lines in hat area to get some idea but not much luck
if anyone can find that video again (taken down from anywhere ive checked) should post it.
I know I know
but Im actually just trying to get a closer look at york landing. Ive already told myself the videographer was just excited/confused
All thanks for the image of the hydro line. I miss that part so I got a bit confused. So yeah they could have walked at it wouldn't have been so skaggy and swampy.Dont think theyd really have to 'bushwhack' though. Its no trail but its kept somewhat clear for access and stuff. Not sure about the scrag either but idk, maybe they picked a rise or dry spot (do dry spots exist up there right now lol) for the pylons.

Haha you have me convinced though. Guess you're living up to your nametaking the route I outlined itd be alot closer to 100km than 200km. Its a more direct route then the road by alot and they wouldnt have to use the ferry (which cost money they may not have and would include a huge risk of getting caught)
Also dont worry im not trying to convince you, Im not convinced myself! just kinda spitballin tryna figure things out while we wait
That is a great interview. It's heartbreaking the amount of stress and fear this manhunt must be putting on the communities. Not just the disruption of daily life, I'm sure there are questions, rumors, and possibly distrust, that neighbors are having to deal with. It has got to be particularly hard for families with children, elderly persons who may be living alone, etc. (edit, spelling)
Yes or took the hydro line down into York Landing just as WS sleuth3000 stated.Being that these were Vancouver Island boys (and being a Vancouver Islander born and bred myself) ferries would be second nature to them. It’s the only way (short of flying) we can get off our island, so all island residents are well versed in ferries. I am sure they would have taken the ferry from Split Lake to York Landing, instead of bushwhacking.
Winter roads are just that used in the winter time. And the reason they can only be used in the winter time is the muskeg freezes up then you can drive on them.makes sense *in theory* but without a pic or description from someone in N canada what they might look like, hell could be a relatively easy stroll, could be a thorny marsh impossible to traverse reallly dont know.
that otto mapping guy was asking me about the winter road system and when I was looking just happened to notice it and seemed such a perfect direct route
I mean the line starts RIGHT where they left the rav. Like RIGHT there. They were prolly almost under it getting out the car lol.
This theory is fun but I think walking along the road or hitching more likely

It is summertime you can't drive on them cuz it's muskeg and swamp. Walking on some of that it's just like walking on chunky quicksand flosting Moss and you just sink and can't get out. Easy to bust the ankle or knee or leg. Or get stuck and drown.
So a winter road is just that .it's.. a trail through the muskeg that's frozen over that you can drive on in the winter.
Ha ... You got me thinking your theory was better than my theory and now you're thinking about changing your mind? I guess this whole situation this whole case has been like that all the way along. Anybody's guess is as good as another.I meant I noticed the hydro lines when I was already looking at the map per someone request about the winter roads. Found a few spots with decent zoom. Likely wet but I think doable. Definitely looks way clearer than anything around it by alot.
That said I'm leaning ferry now I think lol
Many people are very anxious about these 2 criminals being caught.
Imagine how they are now feeling.
No amount of game playing, training could have prepared them for what they are now encountering.
Surely when they hear "POLICE. STOP", they will 'give up' peacefully, as they realize death is not what they want.

cant change a mind not made up
anyway I was just trying to establish possibility and I think I did. once you get to probability it doesnt do so well.
I mean, it looks like a nice straight direct route on the map but
-route to where? for it to be a 'direct route' wouldnt that mean they were headed to york? Nothing really that way, except thompson in another 100 something miles lol
-looks nice on a map but would it have looked like that to them standing there? Or would it have looked like walking off the edge of the earth with little to no supplies? It is pretty clear most of the way, but if its impassable anywhere its in the first 15km
damn suns coming up, howd that happen?? lol Ima try to go to bed before it breaks the horizon. Hopefully I wake up and its all over
