[quote="Doctor Duffy":0c205][img]http://photosbymartin.com/images/pcd1733/bike-road-28.3.jpg[/img]

These are the roads I was talking about... everyday we'd spend atleast half an hour going to and from home just twisting and turning in these roads.

Beautiful views (I love California, and not this southern california laguna beach oc crap, but real California far outside long beach), but I was pretty fucking scared at times (being 5) that we'd slip right off.[/quote:0c205]

What's so bad about those roads?

There's nothing "bad". It's not like they're notorious... I just found the article interesting b/c I used to live there.

That picture is probably the best I could find though, much of the mountains dont have blockades to keep you from falling off, and when you're going downhill at nighttime where the roads will turn totally out the blue it can get pretty scary.

it doesn't seem too positive. Things get really cold at night and obviously he's spending more and more time without food and water. cry:

holy crap, I saw something about this story a while ago, but it wasn't until now that I realized it was the gadget guy from TechTV...

I hope they find him, it would really suck if he died going for help to save his family when he could have been rescued with them if he had just stayed put...tragic irony

whats worse is him not knowing his family is safe, his last thoughts as he froze to death were probably thinking his family were going to suffer the same.

bless his family.
