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.

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

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

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. 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.

"We're going to start backing away from the investigation," he said, adding that the search will shift to roads off state Highway 42 instead of Highway 38. Both are common routes taken to get from Interstate 5 to the Oregon coast.Weird, considering how far north of Glendale those roads are, and how the most direct (and fastest) route to Gold Beach would have been to go south on the 4-lane I-5 freeway to exit 66/Merlin and then turning west to cross the mountains. And Hwy 38? That's far north of Roseburg, why would they backtrack, unless they aren't sure they ain't at the Roseburg restaurant. Also odd that a week later the SFPD still hasn't gotten all the credit card trail.
