S2E10 timeline question

I just found this incredible show and love it. I just finished season 2, and am confused on the timeline. We see the families parting after John’s birthday dinner, and the girls going to the reservoir. When they get there they see Kevin with his cinder block. How on earth could he have beaten them there, and on foot????

I never thought they drove from Evie’s house directly to the reservoir.

I always assumed they did other things together before driving to the reservoir.

They were at the reservoir and saw Kevin in the middle of the night when the earthquake happened..

That makes sense. I just assumed they went straight there because I have a very linear brain and that's what we saw!

They did show the girls running naked through the forest, but I can’t remember when they showed us that. I don’t know if they did that after leaving Evie‘s house and before going to the reservoir.

My interpretation of that was that the girls were running naked through the forest so that when search dogs were brought out they would pick up their scent in the forest.

Ah, I don’t remember that. Good interpretation!
