I was coming to say this exact thing, but you beat me to it. My husband goes out in this capacity currently and I used to. I could see him doing this exact thing. Scope out a possible trail on google the night before, drive to walmart an hour before they open, go for a run, come back to walmart...

Oof, this breaks my heart. There was intention to be in this van, and those stickers were a point of pride in the journey. I just think of her putting them on, excited to go new places and collect more stickers.

I would be practicing my highest level of bear aware camping in Spread Creek. Bear spray on my belt when outside the van, keep an eye on kids, and clean up food smells/keep food in hard sided containers, etc. I’d be a little less vigilant about the bear spray in a regular campground at/near the...

Longtime member here, but I’ve been away a long time, this case has hit close to home, though, so I’m trying to keep up on the threads. I lived in Jackson until last year, another family forced out by the housing crisis the valley is gripped in. I want to provide a little context. Because of...

I’ve been out of the loop and just saw this news. I’m so grateful Mary has her name back and we know something of what happened to her. I’ll be in Reno in the next few weeks and would love to put some flowers on her grave - I wonder if it’s possible to find in the cemetery? I’ll try calling the...

I just saw this and came here to see if anyone thought it could be linked! The article says they believe there could be more victims, and these two are from 1977 & 1979...

According to the memoir I mentioned, Nickerson was having an affair and that's why he wanted to break it off with Barbara. They agreed to work on it, but after she disappeared he did marry the woman he was having an affair with. They were married the rest of their lives and who two daughters...

I came across this essay in Outside Magazine about Barbara and was instantly intrigued: https://www.outsideonline.com/2280101/art-vanishing-laura-smith-excerpt The essay is adapted from Laura Smith's excellent memoir, The Art of Vanishing. I read it in an evening, heart pounding through most...

I have connections to Northern Nevada and have been following the story of the Humboldt County, Nevada (Winnemucca area) Sheriff's Office and their cash seizure program. Opinions may vary on if the program is warranted or not, but the general procedure of the SO has been 1) pull over vehicles...

The two pictures of him (drivers license and surveillance) are so different! The date of the DL photo is unknown but older, but he actually looks younger in the surveillance photo. Maybe it's just the angle?? It doesn't even look like the same guy. This is local to me, but I haven't heard much...

I haven't believed from the start that Dylan would've walked 20 miles to Bayfield under those conditions - on the map Ransom linked to under walking directions, it would take about 7 hours, not including breaks. Then, I had a sudden memory, which I'm sharing with you FWIW: My DH and I were...

I haven't posted in awhile, but I'm still following along here and hoping for news.

I posted way back (threads 1 & 2, I believe) the unaccompanied minor rules for Frontier Airlines, who I believed operated Dylan's flight that landed in Durango. Of note was that Frontier Airlines does not allow unaccompanied minors on flights with connections. Tonight, after doing a bit more...

I'm not quite caught up yet, but wanted to comment on the multiple facebook accounts. My best guess is that this is for games. In certain games - Farmville, the Sims, etc., that you play via Facebook, you get bonuses or special perks that help you advance when you friend others. So, create more...

This is right on. A thread or two ago I posted the link to the Frontier Airlines (which Dylan flew in on, his plane arrived, 1 hour delayed, at 5:47 Sunday) unaccompanied minor guidelines. He would've been released by the airline only to the authorized adult, who had to show ID plus obtain...
