John made the news again. Time passes but the same good people do what they do.

Yeah, sure You’re one of his friends, right? No need for lies here. Kathy Kim’s Yelp comments were reposted online already, about how they were spending $150-$300 on dinners (meager, yeah…) and other high spending and shopping sprees. They were rich yuppies who thought the world should roll under their feet.

Just got off OregonLive’s discussion board regarding the recent 20/20 piece on Kati. Snarls lives on, regrettably, but Kati did a fine job of trying to put him in his place – which is in a troll cave somewhere. So many years, still many strong feelings remain about this tragic event.

Not a Thanksgiving time goes by that I don’t remember. It’s about that time of year already. So good to hear about such good friendships born from such tragedy.

Thanks, Joe!

Was actually just texting Sarah, and suggested we all have lunch sometime.

Thanks for the concern – the exchanges are really not too upsetting at this point. Though, I’m glad not to have read the “conspiracy” theories early on.

And, I agree – both John and Sarah are excellent people

Kati! It’s really neat to have you check in here although I hope some of the exchanges are not too upsetting to you – I did not edit much of the dialog and it got pretty heated as your amazing story unfolded.

I’m very happy you live in Oregon now and have found such fine friends in Oregon as John and Sarah. They both contributed so much to the rescue and also helped keep people informed here at the blog where a lot of folks were checking in as the days went on.

Please let me know if there’s anything I can ever do to help or show you and the girls around Southern Oregon!

Wow! I had no idea the extent of the discussion here. Just now discovering.
It’s been nearly 4 years since James and I were lost and I’m still amazed by the attention our situation received.
In case anyone’s wondering, and still reads these comments, the kids I are doing great. We live in Oregon now.
John Rachor and Sarah R have become two of our dearest friends.
Penelope (the oldest) absolutely idolizes Sarah and says she wants to be a “Search and Rescue” person when she grows up. Sabine (the youngest) adopted one of Sarah’s chihuahua puppies this past Summer at a SAR training camp at Gold Beach.
Joe – Thank you for maintaining this site.

Several GPS systems have sent motorists over non existent bridges or over a narrow pedestrian only bridge. Sometimes cars are sent to the edge of cliff. Its no excuse to rely on a map just because it is an electronic one.

Just read a couple of accounts of people getting lost in OR using a GPS that programmed them far afield of the main roads, into bad conditions.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100101/D9CUTBK81.html

Of course I was reminded of the Kim case, though no GPS was involved there. In one case, the family was found after friends used the exact GPS system and followed the route straight to the family.

The bottom line will remain common sense (Do we really want to save 40′ by leaving the main road?). Good tip in the article to program the GPS for “highways only”, though haven’t tested it myself.

Great to see the Kim family visited JOCOSAR’s Christmas Party, what an moving experience for all concerned.

So nice to see many of the original group still posting on this topic. Wishing you all a safe and properous 2010!
