    Years ago, someone dear to me disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a seemingly happy life. We feared the worst, never considering she just walked away. She resurfaced months later living in...

    I am fascinated by the hermit story as well. I could not find a thread on the topic, but if there is interest enough to discuss it, we could start one.

    I've always found the "mystery call" suspicious as well, but for the reason that it might delay the search. You make a great point that it also might have focused the search in the wrong area.

    The only time it took more than 5-10 minutes was getting back to the trail from Big Island. Longest walk was into Troutdale (I think that was 2.5 miles).

    I would go the support vehicle route as well. I'm very happy with my gear and I would carry it all for safety purposes, but being able to be resupplied more often and not having to hitch would be...

    Oh dear, I hadn't heard that part of the story! I hope that's one that the reporter got wrong.

    After the warden service mentioned the "48 hours/98% found" statistic, I think that raised the red flags. The kidnap scenario has crossed my mind, however it seems these victims are usually young...

    How sweet that her friends celebrated her birthday at Poplar! When I pass through there, hopefully next year, I will certainly be thinking of her.
