If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
And the news is grim -- CNN and the AP are reporting that he was dead, but Kim's employer is waiting for confirmation (and has a far better story that will undoubtedly be updated).
Nameless One said on 12/06/06 @ 01:56 PM: He didn't let his friends or family know the route he was taking. He didnt know the area but felt confident to take hazardous mountain dirt roads, in terrible weather none the less. He left his vheicle and went off trail instead of heading back to his car like he had promised his wife. For all his technology gagdet guruness he didnt have a simple GPS navigation units in his car (if he had one he prolly wouldnt have gotten lost). He did just about everything wrong. Besides the fact that he is a celebrity he is no diffrent than the other thousands of people that died tragically today. On a side note, i find it interesting that the media went crazy over this missing persons story. Its usually only the pretty, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, rich white girls you hear about that are missing. Either way he will be missed and I hope the best for his family.

Can you imagine being stuck in a little car with two small kids for a week?
