Absolutely agree. Why would they have to hoof it back to town? If they are not equipped for hiking, and not experienced, they would do better to stay put. If they should happen to be proficient hikers, sixty miles would not be all that challenging, especially along a road network.

Waiting and signalling is not very exciting, and it doesn't make good TV, but it is more likely to get them out of the situation.
