Im starting to think this whole thread has been a complete waste of our time. Nothing is adding up or making sense. Somebody's sitting in another country having fun with us.

But then again I keep coming back to check and see if theres any new info.:face-icon-small-dis

I have read a similar thread on a boat forum a few years back.
Funny, the thread post was similar like, "SUNKEN BOAT, NEED HELP."
The guy claimed to have accidentally sunk his boat, and for some reason like injured father or cousin/death in family he couldn't locate it. He says he really needs help to recover it.
People who live nearby are offering to help locate it, some offer diving services, people wasted their time and resources trying to help and a few sent him money.
Anyway, the guy strings people along for months with secret locations, no showing for scheduled searches etc.
If I can remember right, the guy got maybe $500 and other donations related to boating.
Then, he disappears. Surprise, surprise.
This may or may not be a similar case here, I dunno.

Well if I remember correctly this was a ride with a elderly dad who had physical issues and a son who is in the military?

Went off trail and ended up where they could not ge out them the sleds were buried?

Correct?

Snow could be down enough now, depending in the elevation. Some places are still at 100" on the Montana/Idaho state line.
Check the hoodoo SnoTel.

HooDoo SnoTel was at 149 for over a month from March to April.

The state line was at 200% normal in April.

It just finally went below 100" on May 27.
