This story has caught my attention the past couple of days. There is a search under way for James Kim, Cnet editor who went looking for help after his family got stuck in the mountains of Southern Oregon:

After leaving Portland on Interstate 5, search leaders said, the couple missed a turnoff that leads to the coast and took a wrong turn on a twisty mountain road they chose as an alternative.

Stuck, they used their car heater until they ran out of gas then burned tires to stay warm and attract attention. With only a few jars of baby food and limited supplies, Kati Kim nursed her children.

The family told their rescuers that James Kim left his family about 7:45 a.m. Saturday in search of help and went the way they had come, saying he would return by 1 p.m. if he found none. He did not return.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I really hope they find him alive.

    I saw this too. I hope Mr. Kim makes it through ok. I can’t imagine what that family is going through right now!
