    Wow! Thanks for letting us know! I knew he was missing, glad to know he is safe.

    Anyhooo..... that's a good reminder for me to stuff my space blanket back in my pack. I'm a bit of an oddball amongst my trail running friends for.... gasp..... always carrying iodine tabs, a compass, a whistle, and a space blanket. I don't carry the space blanket during the winter, though, because I just dress really warmly.

    Glad he is ok and had some nourishment. That could have ended very badly.
