Travis, your decision to go get help was the right one. Had you not done that no one would be on their way right now (or hopefully treating Kevin as we speak/write.)

Keeping my fingers crossed for a good outcome...

Nod. I know in the past that this community has stepped up and assisted as they best can - with searches etc. Getting information out to the public is important as well since it can help with rescue efforts, etc. I'm really hoping that he is safely rescued!

I saw it as well, along with a picture of Kevin. This gives an inexplicable feeling of helplessness and sadness.
