No water around there to speak of besides the Mississippi, but it's a good distance away. If he were targeted for his truck, I imagine he would be found quickly. Very worrisome that he's been gone so long.

I'm scared he took a wrong turn and ended up in water, underbrush, or the like. He could still be with us, even at 81, so prayers going up up up he be found.

There's a nest of creeks that run right by where he was headed - American Way @ Getwell.

Thanks very much. Looks like several gas station/ convince stores a couple grocery stores and a couple restaurants in that area. I see what looks to be an industrial area/ manufacturing facilities not far as well. Seems like this would be a fairly well traveled place and pretty well lit. Can you confirm please? TIA appreciate it very much

Stud, indeed! Couldn't have said it better. I feel terrible for his dear wife. It's got to be soooo hard on her.
