I've been busy. Real life has struck. lol
They have no idea where these two are. I can't imagine they'll try to mount a rescue. They were headed into the mountains.....a Taliban stronghold.
I still can't believe this. Who says to their pregnant wife "Let's go visit a dangerous country just for fun!"

Story reminds me of Daniel Pearl who was kidnapped and beheaded in Pakistan. According to the original article:
The couple had embarked on a journey last July that took them to Russia, the central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and then finally to Afghanistan.
James Coleman, of York County, Pennsylvania, said he was not entirely sure what his daughter and her husband were doing in Afghanistan. But he surmised they may have been seeking to help Afghans by joining an aid group after touring the region...'I don't really know why they went there,"'he added. 'I assume it was more of the same, getting to know the local people, if they could find an NGO or someone they could work with in a little way.'
Fools!! Did they think their altruism for Third World poor and leftism would protect them? "See we're not like those Right Wing Americans Who Cling to Guns and Bibles!!" We're GOOD!! With that said, I hope they return home safely...

You’re right. Reality doesn’t exist for them.

I hope they are found safe too but....I just can’t get past this level of stupidity.

“Darwin Travel and Adventure Outfitters.” That would be a great name for an extreme travel business. Bungee jumping off Everest, petting sharks, paintball safaris in Africa...

I wonder if AP has the Taliban spokesmouth on speed dial?
How does one call the Taliban spokesmouth?

About 15 years ago (give or take a few), I was asked to donate to a young woman who was planning a “goodwill tour.” She planned to ride a motorcycle through Afghanistan and a few other hostile places. By herself. I don’t remember the time frame very well, but it was after the 1993 WTC bombing, and before 9/11/2001. I was tempted to donate, just to do my part for Darwin, but I resisted. I’ve often wondered if she grew a brain in time to avoid the trip.

These are the people who believe in unicorns and Atlantis. Their theme song is Kumbaya.

While I have sympathy for them as humans... their misguided beliefs put them in their position.. We each have options to the path me make. They took the wrong path :p

I’m pretty sure she was planning to fuel the bike with unicorn farts.
