[Paddlewise] James Kim

The body of James Kim has been found according to the reports I read late
today.  They said they found an outer pair of pants he had been wearing
which was a very bad sign.  Looks like he also put down extra clothes he
had as a signal in the snow.  The report actually mentioned why finding the
pants was bad.  I'm surprised the paper found out the details on
hyperthermia.

Its always a bad idea to leave the car but I'm sure after the many days
they had spent in the car, in a remote area with little chance of someone
just happening on them, as well as being off their known route, he felt no
choice but to try to walk out and try to save his family.  Its a %^&*()
shame that if he had just waited they would have been found.  So $%^&*(
close to rescue.  But he did not know that.  I'm kinda surprised he did not
try to walk out sooner.  Sounds like he tried to do everything right and he
almost made it.  At least his wife and kids did.

Its a real shame.

Later,
Dan
