Makes this story all the more tragic.
Thought you might be interested in this update on the tragic James Kim story.
Still doesn't relieve the responsibility of going out on mountain roads in the winter without basic survival supplies. That was the tragic error. It is not always someone else's fault, no matter how much the media would like you to believe it.
I know, we lived in Colorado for years, and never left home without proper clothes and basic survival supplies in the back, no matter where we were going. Once on the way to Denver in June, a heavy summer snow storm hit while driving up the Interstate. Within an hour we had over a foot of snow. Put it in four wheel drive, cut across a field and down a back road. Got home late that night after many hours creeping along in the Blazer. Watched the late news as thousands were stranded on the freeway in the cold and rescue workers all over the place trying to get them out.
No excuses.
Everyone who travels the roads, especially in winter, should think long and hard about what happened and make their own survival plans too avoid the same fate.
