I wondered why they did not think that before they started out on NF-23. Most people know not to go into the mts without being prepared for emergencies. Those thoughts never kicked in with them. RT 42 is more heavily traveled. I think that everyone was thinking that they would find him alive. The situation was unfolding slowly. I sent a map up there and I wish that I had had the resources to just go up there myself and look where the map had pointed to. They also used MapQuest so they were using the same map that I saw. That route looks like the shortest route between I-5 and Gold Beach. There is no indication on the map about road quality. The guy from the wireless network said that he had a good idea of where to look after he pinged their phone because he had to go over NF-23 before and noticed that allot of people made the same wrong turn that the Kims did.
