MWA trail crew rescues two dogs lost in the Bob Marshall

It was mid-July, and a Montana Wilderness Association trail crew was on its sixth day of a ten-day trail project in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area about ten miles into the backcountry. Hauling bags of gravel from a nearby creek for filling a turnpike on Bowl Creek Trail, a connector to the Continental Divide Trail, the crew was about to go on break when two cocker spaniels approached along the trail. No one thought too much of seeing the two dogs. Everyone figured the owners would be trailing along shortly. They never showed.
