We're approaching 14 days here. I honestly hate to say it but they'll probably find his body. I think that he's been passed on for a while. Hurt himself and maybe went into shock. God forgive me for being so grim, but I just get that feeling.
Let this be a lesson to people. If you're going out there be ready for the bad situations that can occur. And just like Russ said if you're lost and got a good camp site....sit tight, stay calm, stay dry, stay warm and wait.
And as I am sure Mr. Ritter will say....get a PLB or a SPOT.
What's the cell service like in that area? Probably zip.
I agree Izzy. This is probably not going to be a good outcome. I know that area very well and as I said before, it is not where I want to be lost...or hurt for that matter. For the official SAR and other volunteers out looking, there are just too many miles of rugged country to cover.
There is no cellphone coverage into the park or the area NW of it. This park is a true wilderness area and not the place for a casual and unprepared hike. The effective cell coverage pretty much ends at the south entrance of the park which is at the top of Harper Rd near the gun range which is some miles away from where the search is being centered on.
