Have LE not already said that Dylan would not of gone to that location where he was found?
My thought is that Dylan was actually somewhere between where he was found and MR's house and that the items found were taken there by animals. That could be totally wrong because of the shoelaces.
But LE asked a long time ago for help with possible places someone could have walked to - be it Dylan, or someone with Dylan. Our discussion didn't get very far but I think it is worthwhile to take another look at this. The backpack is still missing. Animals wouldn't want that unless there was food in it, kwim?
The backpack could be between the two places.

I've read the posts, and think maybe there's a misunderstanding here. I think walking (or carrying) possibilities are interesting, and certainly discussable, although, as I recall, LE has ruled out Dylan getting himself up there, but if we're going to do so, we have to take into account what footwear Dylan had on, what he would have been carrying (presumably, as his backpack wasn't at MR's), as well as the terrain. We can get a pretty good idea of the last item from the pictures of the search teams. The other things we'll have to speculate on -- well maybe someone has a photo of the Dylan's footwear?
Why don't they give SAR dogs Mark's scent and see where it leads them up on that mountain?
Can they do that? That would be interesting. Didn't Dylan's scent end on the property? That would make me think he didn't walk up the mountain. MOO
Working with the above, and assuming Dylan would think his father would be coming home to take him to his friend's house, I would think Dylan would not travel more than 30 minutes away, which gives me this area going South. I cannot imagine him going north for any reason. Anyone?
I have found an RSO on the West side of Vallecito Reservoir, and one just south and east of point B in my map, in addition to the one already known about in the RV park. I am guessing these are all the ones LE have already spoken to.
So, I could see Dylan walking over to the river, just hacking around. Or walking down to the bridge-North Bridge Road (I think Mark mentioned that). Or to the quarry looking thing behind the house. (see second map). But I am sure all of those places have been searched by now?
IIRC, the scent dogs, using items items available from Mark's home that LE originally had, followed Dylans scent to the junction of CR500 and CR501.
I use Google maps on Firefox, Satellite for the picture maps, and Map, then select Terrain for the Topo map. And a 15" laptop, hence the small jpgs.Ghostwheel - are you using Google Earth?
I thought I had it loaded on one of my computers, but come to find out I don't. I have not had time to load it up and take a look and I can't get google to zoom in close enough.
