I'm leaving today for Idaho. I'm thinking of stopping on my way by Mt. Hood and snapping a few more photos since it's another clear SuNNy day.

Why would I send them in? They're blurry. :(

And here we have 3 EXPERIENCED outdoorsmen getting OWN3D by their own egos. Boo Hoo! I hope they find them alive!:crying: :OWNED:


I guess being prepared doesn't really matter does it?:shhh: I wonder if some here can analyse the **** out of this one too? Enlighten us on how the boneheads could have done a better job at not getting killed.:giggling:

Is this because they weren't AZN like that dummy, Kim? I thought all of you AZN were crafty & technologically savvy. Why didn't he have a GPS? I mean, he worked for CNET!!!:giggling:
These 3 idiots got what they had coming to them - Darwin Awards. They should have known better than to try to screw with Mother Nature.:OWNED:

Someone in this house just asked if infra-red would work in locating them. I had to explain that if you're frozen solid you don't emit heat.

That's a good point. :D What is the chance that they are not frozen solid? It has to be extremely slim.

The reports yesterday said the first guy found was solid. Don't know how accurate that is, tho.

I was listening to Lars Larsen(local radio show) and someone called in to say requiring someone to wear a PLU(personal locator unit) would be an invasion of privacy. Uhmmmm, okayyyy.... We'll be sure to ignore the fact that hikers that declined to wear a PLU didn't show up. I'm sure they'll turn up sometime... like in the spring or when the glacier eventually spits them out.

Yeah, I would not go out anywhere in the Western backcountry without a locator beacon. Where I've skied in the East, I sometimes think maybe I should have one... But out West.... Anything off-trail, off-piste should require the use of a locator beacon.

So I guess they didn't have them? Idiots....
