Re: Emergency - Kevin8020 READ
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.)

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!travis19877 wrote:Very much out of our hands now not anything we can do other than pray.mattpayne11 wrote:We should try to remain positive.

Re: Emergency - Kevin8020 READ
I saw it as well, along with a picture of Kevin. This gives an inexplicable feeling of helplessness and sadness.
