Too bad about that family missing in Oregon.
Anyone up there from our group?
There is much blog on CNET regarding GPS and various mapping software packages.
My guess is that they would have followed the directions from the Inn and not tried to out guess via a mapping package.
MapQuest and some other packages take people onto forest ranger roads... bad idea.
The shortest route was between Hugo and Gold Beach which has bad roads - according to some of the other posts - they should have gone on 38 which makes me think that something was already wrong by the time they got to Denny's - would you want to go to Denny's if you could go out to the shore for dinner? None of this story makes sense.
