Definitely hoping for a good outcome here. Plenty of "I Survived" stories out there much more extreme. Tom is definitely in our thoughts and prayers, femaleexpat.

On a side note, this is perfect example of the potential consequences from the actions of the clowns stealing the Sierra summit registers. SAR uses these as part of their process, and sometimes an enty - or lack thereof - can be crucial in determining which direction a search will go. Fortunately the Langley register is still intact - hopefully SAR can track down a few of the other people who signed it that day and maybe get a clearer picture.
