Not good. Comments on Free Republic over the weekend and a review of a good highway map suggest that the road that runs west from I-5 near Glendale (HW-23?) is a tough drive.

He has been writing a book on Microsoft's Zune MP3 player.

Uh Oh. I suspect foul play...

Not good.

Hopefully they'll wind up like that missing family that went off road a couple of years back and was stuck incommunicado for a few days - prompting everyone to assume they were dead.

But they made it out and recovered.

I think he was doing a review of a newly released GPS navigation system.

Mr. Kim's rating? 1.7

(I really hope everything turns out OK)

LOL.

Actually, my suspicions lie in the fact that he was last seen in a Denny's...

Hope he and his family are found safe.

I sure hope so.

Those look like crappy roads, esp. driving at night.

How old is this report? Haven't they been missing for well over a week?

That was the primary suspicion on another thread.

Updated at 10:26 PST, so the information on the cell phone seems to be about an hour old.

The article indicates that they went well beyond Glendale to Roseburg, Oregon. At least Google Earth indicates that getting from there to Gold Beach, where they had a room for the night, would have taken them on state Highway 42. They only switched to searching that road sometime on Saturday. It's a twisty mountain road with lots of opportunities to get lost.

Prayers are required, but hope is still not unreasonable.

Here is their official website for the disappearance, as well as their guestbook:

Google maps says that Glendale is south of Roseburg, near Wolf Creek.

I think it was a google map that lulled them into thinking it was a easy short way to Gold Beach. We have a similar road, hwy 36, here in Humboldt county. It looks like a nice short cut from 101 to i/5 near Red Bluff and it is in the summer but in the winter it snows, rains and freezes...
