bikeslut 1 Posted March 12, 2010 the post that zracing linked was actually very informative, if not particularly well written... facebook, myspace, email campaign... I'll be doing it all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 559 Posted March 12, 2010 Does anyone know what kind of investigation was done at the site of the Jeep? None that I know of. It was still unlocked on the Thursday when we got there to check everything out. So it was sitting unlocked for 4 days with random back country travelers coming across it.

R2 RIDER 0 Posted March 12, 2010 Hope and well wishes to the family. I had read the Jeep Recovery posting too after I gained access to the MO board and just assumed that Mickey was probably just grounded for a long, long time. I'm sorry, I had no idea he was gone. If I can help in any way, please let me know. Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawdaddy 96 Posted March 13, 2010 I punched in the location, and it put me in fish creek wash.I have nothing going Sunday, so if anyone is heading out for a hike please let me know. Per the Facebook page it appears a large group of hikers/bikes/jeepers/etc. may mobilize next weekend.....I'll post more once Doug/Missy decide how they want to proceed.....

I am still open for Sun, Thurs if anyone else is up for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerTOWM 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Was the blanket Mickey's. The newspaper article said the deputies found a blanket but did not state if it was positively identified as belonging to Mickey. If the blanket was Mickey’s then that is the place to start. If not then we should start at the car. Bring a gps and camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADV Bum 205 Posted March 13, 2010 I will be going out Sun 14. Needed to get some off roading in and have nothing else going. I keep looking at these maps and wish I was more familiar with the whole area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted March 13, 2010 I should be out there the 21st... If anybody will be out the 20th and needs to borrow a gps, radio, spot; I have all 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very good point......blanket could lead everyone in the wrong direction if it wasn't taken from the jeep in the first place......I'll ask the question over on Mickey's Facebook page......

kellymac530 0 Posted March 13, 2010 even if the blanket were mickey's it doesnt mean he took it with him when he got out of the car. if he got out and walked and the car was left open or a window down any number of animals may have dragged the blanket off. it is a great starting point for a group to leave from, but i dont think it should be the ONLY search point. if a coyote, racoon, bobcat, crow or any number of other animals got ahold of the blanket they may have smelt all of the human pheromones and possibly any food smells in the fabric, drug it off and realized it had nothing for them and dropped it. just a thought to not get TOO focused on 1 thing that may or may not be important. im really sad for his family and hope and pray for a good outcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
