There's a huge sense of adventure embarking on a road trip; with nothing more thrilling than the open road. For Rita and Albert Chretien a trip between British Columbia and Las Vegas went from adventure to deadly when their path took a treacherous turn. *CORRECTION NOTICE* I talk about “Humboldt National Park” as it was stated in several news publications but it’s actually the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. This forest has several large but non-contiguous sections in California and Nevada so details may not be accurate to the area being discussed. For more info see Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.
