I wonder where in NE Nevada these two people got lost. A couple of coyote hunters found them I assume. Seven weeks in that area is a long time, hunters this fall may find the husband.

I am assuming the husband got off the road looking for help if they cannot find him??? I can never figure out a good reason for doing that, just stay on the road and head down the mountain...

7 weeks is a long time on trail mix. After I got stuck I would have walked out and been lost for 7 weeks hiding from the wife at the bar surving on beer and burgers...

That story is totally worthless. It doesn't say where the van was "logging roads", a lot of people would be on the look out for the husband if they had a clue where to look.

We have "logging roads" here? Humm Thats a new one for me..

 

[theox]

wow that must have been a huge!! bag of trail mix!!!!! i dont see how the heck he could have got lost. walk down the dang road...

Are they sure it is Nevada with logging roads??? what kind of van were they in most vans I see are not 4x4 and i wouldnt take them off road. well maybe all of us on here better make up a search party and head to the nearest "logging road" to the area and check it out. oh wait they just say north eastern nevada but I am assuming they were headed down 93 and took off around jarbidge.

i agree its pretty dang hard not to find your way out of almost anwhere in Nevada. Stay on pretty much any road, head downhill, or just head out for that matter. The latest article i read said he had a gps and was headed for a highway 10 miles away. So you gotta figure just a couple of things could of happened, he got turned around...with a gps, decided to take a shortcut instead of staying on any kind of road, which if he overworked himself he possibly could of had a heart attack. Or...who knows. 7 weeks is a long long time to be by yourself stuck in the back country, I think i would go insane!

News article said he was headed for SR225 which is NE of Tuscarora, looks like he was taking the backcounty roads. Wrong time of year to be on those roads....in a van.

LAST EDITED ON May-08-11 AT 09:50AM (MST)[p]The van was near the bruneau river past rowland. They came in through Idaho. Not a place to be with a van.I bet it is a two to three day walk out in good conditions, if he backtracked the way they came in. If he decided to go cross country,well I dont know.

Why would you be out there in a van this time of year?!

Remember the Stolpas? People do crazy things. I was a Park Ranger stationed at Wild Horse for many years, and was involved in more than one odd "rescue" mission on either the Brunheau River road or the Charleston route to Jarbidge. I remember one Thanksgiving where some German tourists in a Datsun or Hyundai were travelling the route to Jarbidge... they actually were in there more than 12 miles in deep snow! There was also one time a frostbite victim who had actually removed his socks walking in snow... had to cut frozen leather shoes off the feet...trying to make Thanksgiving eve into Jarbidge...he made it as far as Charleston! There were a few others, thankfully did not end in tragedy!

Maybe he took off walking and ran into Claude Dallas, and is happily living off the land now.
