Great guy from what I have read in his messages on the forum. Praying everything turns out well for him and his family.

This is indeed worrisome news. I know that Cole has a rustic family cabin on the Jefferson, which he offered to let me use when we were passing thru in 2014. I wonder if that is what they meant by "camping". Cole told me that they often float fished the river from there. I will remain hopeful that he just got turned around and will come walking out of the woods and back to his lovely wife and family soon.

I didn't know about the cabin, but, being an optimist about most things, I expect that a healthy man who is experienced in the woods should survive quite a while up there even under adverse circumstances.

GOD DAMN IT! I communicated many times with him in PMs about Montana and purchased his book. I was looking forward to meeting him sometime soon.

I hope there is good news.

He has been helping me plan my trip out west. Super nice guy.

Boy - this is heart breaking. Cole and I have shared several PMs together and I have so much respect for his writing. I too was (AM STILL) hoping that we could one day meet.

I wish I knew what they are thinking in terms of what happened? Perhaps "recovery" is the term used after so much time has elapsed "searching" - this guy is smart as a whip and I assume he was camping in familiar territory.

Remaining very optimistic and hopeful.

ahh, man.. I just messaged him yesterday cause I was hoping he'd be at the Red Lodge get to together.. EFF EFF EFF//

Prayers.

 

[HotRodZilla]

Holy Crap! I hope this concludes with a happy ending. I wonder what the heck happened. He has always been a really cool guy.

 

[PhilJet09]

I'm hoping for the best possible outcome.

 

[majicmaker]

I'm hoping this turns out well for him and his loved ones. I've been a fan of his since, forever. Very sad news. Fingers crossed.

 

[Hotboot]

Remaining hopeful of a good news story, we had a few PM conversations and he is a cool dude.

 

[JamesW]

Son of a B____. Believe I chatted with him several years ago at a bike show up here, had his books, newsletter etc., heck of a nice couple. This has not been a good year on the forum so far.

 

[LKLD]

Well, until we hear further news, I'll assume he's still fighting to get back with his loved ones. Wishing this ends up with him having a hell of a story to tell. I will stay hopeful.

 

[TripperMike]

Well this news just SUCKS.

Never met him but I too am one who has always enjoyed his posts. Hoping n praying that I (we) still will be able to in the future.

I did the same. He and I wanted to meet when I passed through that area with the family last July. I just "Couldn't make the time" to alter my schedule to meet him.

I am going to keep hoping and I will pray that he turns up alive.

 

[RaYzerman19]

I was hoping to meet him in Red Lodge...... here's hoping for the best possible outcome.

 

[Frushlorton]

Prayers for him and the family.

 

[FJR-Pilot]

Hoping for the best. Prayers too.

 

[08FJR4ME]

Well this sucks! Hoping for the best outcome. From his post I really liked the guy.

Prayers being said,
