Um, that isn't terribly unusual in that part of the country. And shorts are de rigueur for teen boys until it's in the teens and snowing, believe me. When he was in elementary school, I had to strike a deal with my son to make him wear pants if it was 15 or below. I was worried the teachers would think i was neglecting him. I soon learned it wasn't unusual, lol.
But ... this doesn't mean he didn't put on pants after his dad left on the errands, either. The high that day was 54, in Durango at least, which is quite warm when the sun is out here. The altitude ... it's where he was from. He had lived for years at 8000 ft, not a big deal at all.
(I'm not saying there aren't holes in the story, but these aren't holes.)
Amen. I too live at 7900' and it's not a biggie. Also, have we heard what type of rod? IF it was a fly rod, those break down into 4 pieces. You never walk around with the fly rod put together until you get to where you will fish. I measured my fly rod case and it's 38" long. All you need is the rod and some extra flies which you can just stick on your hat or on your vest, if wearing one. Some great fly fishing in and around Durango.
Hope they find Dylan today!! lease:
