I'll be interested in seeing how this pans out

Glad it's been determined that these two missing hikers are safe somewhere. They called, but still not located.

Blue wins this one.

I could say something about women and the outdoors not going together but then i think of my brothers and i camping together. The 4 of us go out camping at a remote camp ground and decide since it's going to be a good night out we'll pull some picnic tables over and sleep on them instead of in the tents.

The next morning we get woke up by youngest brother (16) screaming for help! Scrambling up from our sleeping bags we look over to see him being held down and terrified by a.....................SQUIRRE L sitting on top of him and his sleeping bag eating a marshmellow that had been left out.

To this day his nickname is Squirrel Man.

GPS is your friend.

It's strange how there is cell coverage where they are supposed to be.

"We're not really campers but we did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night."


"Ohhh crap Erica LOOK!!! we're on the News!!!!"
"Call yer Mom...."  "No!!! you call yer Mom!!!"

Gets me that they had absolutely no clue on survival and how to signal the rescue planes/choppers. After calling they should have found a clearing, built a fire, then put anything green on it that would smoke when they heard the choppers/planes. Of course they probably took no matches or lighters with them.

Now had they been smokers they would have had matches/lighter with them. See smoking is good for your life.

Then again if they smoked they wouldn't have had the energy to go hiking in the first place.
