they need a helicopter search

Oh George, I am so sorry. I heard tonight that my friend in San Diego is out looking for those two children - relatives of his dear friend. That outcome does not look positive.

However, for you and Lesley - Kudos. Nothing like community sticking together. I agree with her tho George. She won't be able to focus on the task and she does know her way around there, if she is worrying about you. Stay put, keep the home fires burning. Make sure she hydrates when she gets home, some quick, easy food. Bath and bed. Bless both of you. And please do let us know. Debbie

they need a helicopter search

Actually they had one searching the first day. The brush in the area is so dense a helicopter is useless. The heat sensor only works for a short time. Lesley said you cannot see a person arms length away from you it is so dense. Dogs also could not track anything.

George,

Good to see you blog again, should I live to be in my 80's much less 90's I would be happy if my health holds up where I could still drive. I got new eyes put in by the VA a few months ago. They removed the cataracts and put in lens. I see so much better and no glasses needed except to read small print on paper.

My mind, not my wife's is wanting to own another motor home but a bit shorter so she can help in driving. She is a tight wad and still working at the bank not wanting to leave ever. She wants to work until 70 and beyond being 61 now. I may not see another motor home in life that I own.

Once you ever owned one it stays in the blood. Glad you had a good trip to get yours fixed up like you wanted. Well after 4 days at his age that doesn't sound too good on finding him alive with wild animals out there too!! In this world there is always something that doesn't go right! Take care George and hello to your wife!

People need to not do things like that unless they have a cell phone with them and it's on. The newer cell phones can be tracked in emergencies. If you go missing, even if you are incapacitated, they can find you thru the phones gps. I have definitely thought 2ce about taking the dog into the woods, since I saw my husband become incapacitated in a second. If he'd been on one of his big hikes in the woods, he'd probably had his phone off. I got the phones for emergency situations, and he'd always do stupid stuff like put it in his backpack and then lock it in the car, then go run or bike.... grrrrr....

Sandy, that area does not have cell phone service nor do we. So most of us, including us, do not have cell phones. Come on up sometime and I'll show you how remote we are!
