Your right, just because I lived down there for 6 years how should I know anything about those roads? I wouldn't try to cross that road in the summer unless I had a few hours to get lost and would never try it in the winter.
But yeah you guys can blame the SAR for a few mistakes in a desparate situation. Sorry but when you go up into those mountains in the snow, unless you know what your doing you may not come back out. Heartless, yeah the wilderness is.
As for the weather, it was cold for a week when he was gone, if the snow was stopping it was still freezing at night with wind. But yeah, never blame the guy who got lost it wasn't his fault it was the gummit's.

Bray once again...
I don't think anybody said James WASN'T at fault. Yeah he messed up and messed up real good. He paid for his mistake.
Now there are professional people that get paid for what they do...and yes they made some pretty startling mistakes as well - I think they should pay for their mistakes. One particular mistake - if accurate - if not had been made - they probably would have been found on Saturday - and we all be high-fiving everyone.
