Found Alive CA - Penelope Bax, 63, San Francisco, 27 March 2018

[hollye]

Penelope Bax, 63, was driving to Bellingham, Washington this week to visit her nephew and his family for Easter but never arrived, her family said.

She was due to arrive Friday night or Saturday morning but has been unreachable since Thursday evening, her family said.

Penelope was last seen Tuesday visiting friends in the San Francisco Bay Area, her nephew Nate Biletnikoff said. Her last known location was Thursday at the Hirz Bay Campground in the Shasta County, according to her sister, Toni Monaco.

A welfare check was done at the campground around 9:45 a.m. Saturday, Shasta County sheriff's Sgt. Caleb McGregor said. The family then called back later that evening to file a missing person's report, he said.

The US Forest Service (USFS) checked the campground but did not find Bax, McGregor said. The Shasta County Sheriff's Office did not have any luck finding her either, he said.

Are those her dogs? Were they at the campground with her?

From the original article:

Bax has blond hair and is about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. She was traveling in a 2017 white Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van, her family said. Bax was traveling with her dog, a golden retriever named Walter.

Here's a picture from the video

"She is traveling in her Mercedes RV with her golden retriever Walter," Monaco wrote. "She was on her way to Washington to visit our nephew and his family."

I am going to assume that the dog that was with her is the one on the right in the photo. The other one looks like a lab.

Her van is something else...and big!
Sure would be hard to hide it.

What are you saying/implying?

What are you saying/implying?

Multiple directions to search, all in very very dense forestland with an uncountable number of side roads. Why were those roads named specifically?

Is it possible she might have had an accident? Either way, her camper is quite big and shouldnt be hard to find.

I'm concerned that someone broke in while she was stopped, and overtook her.

Possibly, but the RV looks new and thus more likely to be in good repair. I wonder what kinds of reputations the camp sites in question have? Some national forests have a resident population of squatters known to be camped out / drugged out on a near permanent basis.

People have been known to get lost or crash in those heavily wooded areas and not been found for a week or more.

The RV is definitely a newer one.

Nice RV. It's one of those Mercedes Benz sprinter... those are diesel and somewhat smaller maybe 25' than full size rvs. Can be difficult to navigate on those curvy roads.

Phone... didn't read about wi-fi at campground and cell reception in that woody area.

Sure hope she and her dog are okay
