Google maps does not like the directions of where his truck was found. Here is a pic of the area it was in though... All desert and farmland.

The red pin is 4th and the white pin is where 49th and 4th would meet up if they do. The map may be outdated?? I could be way off in my mapping. It would not be the first time...
