Mad props to you, dude.

For some reason, this reminded me of an episode of The Amazing Race. They had to go down some massive water slide in Dubai and the girl member of the team was just crying and crying because she was afraid of heights. i turned to my youngest - she's always wanted to run The Amazing Race with me - and I told her she'd be getting a boot to the back. There is no crying in a race for a million dollars.

Amusement park stuff is nothing I want any part of, at least as far as coasters and other rides that are pretty much made to scare you. Which sucks for me, because I live an hour from Cedar Point, 3 hours from King's Island, an hour from Kennywood, an hour and a half from Geauga Lake before it closed, so I did alot of holding other peoples shit while they rode on coasters lol

Those dead bodies, no way....how are the families okay with that?

And boo to me not being preemie anymore. 6 months goes by fast ha ha.

The families don't have any real choice, unless they spend a small fortune to attempt a recovery of the body, which is ungodly expensive, and isn't guaranteed to be successful. But surprisingly, I've read the back story on alot of these people, and alot of the time the families are like "They loved the mountain, they loved climbing, they are where they would want to be."

I love The Olive Garden, but I wouldn't want people stepping over my dead remains on the way to the salad bar.

lol I think attempting, multiple times usually, and devoting years and years to climb the highest mountain on the planet is a tad different than going and getting more bread sticks, no matter how delicious they are.

You've obviously never eaten with me.

So it takes you multiple 12-18 hour days to get to the salad bar from your table, while using oxygen tanks and not allowing any skin to be exposed or it will pretty much instantly become frostbite? Where the hell is your Olive Garden At?! lol

Two months ago, 21-year-old Drake Kramer told his parents he was taking a solo trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. He hasn't been seen since.

"He loved being outdoors," Drake's father, Robbin Kramer, said. Robbin and his wife, Brenda, live in San Antonio.

"I think that he may have decided to go out and be out in nature," said Robbin. "He needed to be with Mother Earth and he needed to set his soul free. He said he would be at the Grand Canyon and that if we were to find his body, to bury him without a casket."

Drake communicated that to his dad via text message in late January. The Grand Canyon National Park launched a search and rescue mission, scouring 285 miles of the South Rim.

"It's been very hard not knowing where my son is," Robbin said.

Three weeks ago, the family received word that someone spotted Drake. Another search and rescue was launched but crews found nothing. The hardest part for Drake's parents is not knowing what happened.

"He's out there somewhere," said Brenda. "I just want him to come home and know that he's okay."

If you have seen Drake, you are asked to call the Grand Canyon National Park: (928) 638-7888.

I feel badly for his family and cannot imagine what they are going through. They truly need some closure, but anyone who has ever been to the Grand Canyon knows it will be worse than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Was just checking on this one, hoping for an update of some sort. Nothing. No news. Zip.

My heart breaks for this kid. It really does. I cannot even fathom how hard this must be for his family...
