My good buddy's , friends parents are missing



" quote "
One of my good friend's parents are missing. Last seen getting gas and snacks at a gas station in Oregon. They were on their way to Vegas taking a more scenic route as opposed to the freeway. If any of you guys could post on some other boards that are in the NW US, just to spread the word and maybe get some other eyes out there on the back roads or wherever. Thanks.

Cory, is there any update on this?

Just googled his name and an article from the 8th came up mentioning they're scaling back the search for them. It was suggested that they may have skidded off the road into a spot not easily seen by passing vehicles.

She has been found alive... Still no sign of her husband.

Wow... sounds like they went on a quick little offroad excursion and got stuck. Main reason to never do that without recovery gear to some extent. Hope they find the husband.
