crave.cnet.com — Update: As of 9 a.m. PST Friday, investigators said they were narrowing their search to Oregon's Highway 38 as the family's most probable route to their destination of Gold Beach. The Kims last spoke to an innkeeper there by phone about five hours before they planned to arrive.

Deliverence is definately nothing like Southern Oregon. Those coastal towns are all touristy and not very isolated at all. Brewer is completely right.There is a bunch of little houses people make for homeless cats in Gold Beach though that are pretty sweet. Lots of little houses out on the Jetty. A whole cat community lives out there.

You can't track a signal with less than 2-3 towers, and it's likely any phone would be dead by now. And yes, as has been mentioned several times, the area is full of cliffs and valleys going up and down the Tillamook Forest and Cascade Mountains. It's likely what ended up happening.

He's a CNET editor now, but I think everyone knows him from his time on TechTV. And Digg obviously has a lot of old TechTV fans, so it would stand to reason why this is a popular story.

News articles have already stated that the car had neither OnStar nor LoJack.

Cleverboy, I was just simply trying to let Veronica know that I understand how she feels, although I guess I could have just simply said just that. I only took the long winded route because there seems to be a lot of people commenting that it seems they are covering this so heavily because "their famous" which I agree with Veronica is not true. If you really think about it, it's only a few major tech sites that are covering this and the local news to where they are missing. It's not like this is plastered all over CNN or MSNBC. If I walked up to just about any stranger, they would have no clue who James Kim is. In that respect he's just a normal human being just like anyone else and his case is really being treated no differently as such.Well anywho, I was just simply trying to tell Veronica that I agree with her sentiment while at the same time trying to address this with those that seem to think that this story is being covered so heavily because of "fame" when it really is not.

"po-dunk" yes. "Deliverance" not even close. I grew up in Drain, It is very quaint and rustic. I now live in the south and believe me MegaBadu, you have not even begun to see "Deliverance" until you get lost in the country out here. You walk into a gas station and they know you are not from around "here." You can actually feel what they are thinking, "You gotta pretty mouth, Boy."If anyone from that area saw the Kim's in trouble they would do everything they could to help them.

Big Windy Creek Drainage is unfitting in name for such an honorable heroic man to have fallen. It should be renamed the James Kim Canyon or Creek. Also I hope this tragedy somehow prevents future tragedy's and perhaps even a new survival gadget will be born in his honor.My sincerest condolences to the surviving Kim's.
