First off its not all of the information. For the most part everyone has been very honest and forth coming, very helpful and down right friendly. However, and here comes the bomb, there have been a few that have told me stories that just don't add up. I'm not just talking about the climbers that made their way up to the lake. From the film industry to the drug organization to law enforcement, there have been stories that contradict each other and in some cases can't be supported by documented facts. So when I find this rather than discount it I ask myself, "Why is this so important to this person to tell the story the way they have"? It has now become part of the book. Whether it is misdirection on purpose or just due to +30 years of trying to remember what took place, it still is part of the story.
