I've been reading the news about the trapped family in Oregon

It's kinda scary that all these missing trapped people seem to be in Oregon. :O I think there were some people last year that were in Oregon, too. Guess this means Wes and I should be careful driving in the back country...

And I would also add that if you're on unfamiliar country road and the visibility is so low that you have to look out the window to see road signs, it is safest to pull over into the shoulder and take shelter in your car until visibility improves. I would recommend these steps

Yea, I stocked a blanket a while back and there's always a snow shovel in the car. (Living in the north does that to you :) I think some food and water would be good too.

BTW, the guy actually walked much further than everyone thought. The map used by the rescuers was in error... even though it didn't affect the search, it's still kind of bad... But anyway, he actually walked over 16 miles.

We have a shovel in one of the cars? *blink* Didn't we get rid of that grave-digger? ^^;;;
