I kept up with this story all along.

I was so shocked when they found his body.

Oh no.
What a loss for his family, he must have been a good husband and father.

This story is so truly sad. What a courageous and loving man to try to save his family in this way.

2006-12-08T13:14:00.001-06:00

This is a sad story. I know he did what he had to do. Some dads out there could really learn from this, even if it did lead to his death. Selfless actions are too rare these days. Families are worth dying for.

I've actually been following this a little.... So very sad!!

Such a tragedy, it looks like he will be greatly missed.

This story is so sad. He was a Bay Area guy, too, a local.

Unfortunately, every couple of years a story like this happens in Northern California. Every time the dad (or any one of the group) leaves the family to "get help" they end up not making it. The best bet in those situations is always to stay together in one place.

Another couple was recently lost in the Santa Cruz mountains for five days (and it was near freezing that week) and they both made it out alive by finding shelter and sticking there until help came.

It is so terribly sad. I stopped watching the news on it cause it got me too upset.

That is so sad. Its so dangerous to travel in a strange area in winter. I just feel so bad thinking about all the things he would have been thinking and feeling as his trek became longer and longer. As a parent, that would be devastating.

We had high hopes that he would be found safe, but...

2006-12-07T18:41:00.000-06:00

We had high hopes that he would be found safe, but leaving the car in such frigid temps is not a good idea. Those poor people.

It is indeed a fascinating and truly sad story. I ...

2006-12-07T18:18:00.000-06:00

It is indeed a fascinating and truly sad story. I used to live over in that neck of the words so I can sort of imagine how scared and alone they felt out there. And I also read the reason they may have been on that road is because of the directions from one of online mapping deals like MapQuest.

2006-12-07T15:41:00.000-06:00

Thanks for the link, brianalt. It seems that area is notorious for getting people lost and stranded.

Maybe Oregon will finally put up real signs and make accurate maps.

I didn't know yet--I mean I had been following the story because my cousin's husband actually knows the family. I was elated when the daughters and wife were found relatively okay.
I was going to your links after I posted--but reading some of the comments already let me know the outcome.

2006-12-07T06:11:00.000-06:00

I was very upset when I heard he did not make it. He is a hero.

RIP Mr Kim. How terrible!

Oh wow that is so sad. I had not heard of this on the news over here, but it sure brings tears to the eyes.
My thoughts and prayers go out to them too and thank you for the links.

I had only seen this story in passing via CNN headlines, but didn't know anything about the person. Thank you for the heads-up about the Kims and the recent tragedy. How sad.
