A solo day hike through Joshua Tree National Park turns into a mystery that no one—not the police, not the search teams, not even the man who lived through it—can fully explain. Three missing days. A vanished hitchhiker. And a notebook that should have been impossible for anyone else to know about. So pull up a chair, settle in by the fire...and decide for yourself what really happened in the desert. If you enjoy original horror, desert folklore, UFO mysteries, and high strangeness, you're in the right place.
