Several hours later, around 5 p.m., the Youngs and Johns — Mark and his wife — again encountered DiMaggio and Anderson at Morehead Lake, below where they had set up their tent high on a ridge. DiMaggio was off to the side of the trail, petting a gray cat. John jokingly asked Anderson why she was soaking her feet in a lake filled with fish, but she didn't respond. As John and his companions started to ride away, he heard Anderson say, "Looks like we're all in trouble now."
