On November 25, 2006, James Kim, an American television personality, his wife Kati & two daughters headed down from Seattle, Washington, on Interstate 5, back towards their home in San Francisco, California. After fueling gas north of Eugene, they were planning to stay at a resort in Gold Beach, Oregon, yet they somehow missed Highway 42 to the north, the main approach to the coast. Checking a road map, they saw Bear Camp Road as being an alternative approach & they ventured onto it, passing the gate, which was left open. It turns out BLM had left the gate open to avoid trapping local hunters & others who ventured past it.
The Kim family made it to this intersection and made the fateful mistake of heading the right approach down an isolated rough logging road in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. For about 23 miles, they ventured on the slow windy road before they stopped at about 1AM on November 26 from fatigue & bad weather. Low on fuel as more snow fell around their immobilized station wagon. James, Kati, and their two daughters were now stranded in a foreign environment, with no one knowing where they were.
