RIP Mike

i dont know this guys history but its very irresponsible to go out there without some basic supplies and survival skills. like bring a gallon of water if youre gonna go offroading 80m from civilization. i wouldnt rule out foul play actually now that i think about that.

regardless, very sad.

I was also following this and this is very sad and I offer my condolences etc.....does anybody know why he drove to arizona with only his wallet? is it all speculation at this point? Why didnt anybody pick him up? What kind of rental car was he driving and how did it break down?

This is just awful.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Wow what [censored] way to go [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Very sad. I followed the Corvette forum and I feel for them all and any here that knew him personally.

I live very close to where he was found and know the sheriff personally. The Arizona heat/sun is no joke and one should never, ever go out exploring or 4 wheeling without leaving detailed info on where you're going, IF you choose to go alone.

My condolences to his family and loved ones.

I was so hoping this was a joke. Sad it's not.

My thoughts and prayers.

I was hoping he was on a bender partying and stuff but it didn't sound good from the start. Was he a regular off roader? It seems insane to go out in that desert by yourself [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Apparently Mike was very fond of off-roading. The cell phone is really incidentaly, as it would not have worked in that area. His car broke down very far from a main road or any residence or business. He made the decision to leave the car and try to hike out, and died of exposure trying to walk out.

I agree that it is always wise when going somewhere like this to tell someone where you are going, and if you bring a phone they will be more able to locate you. Sadly, Mike did not think of this as anything more than a drive. He had driven in this desert area alot, but clearly did not take as much safety precautions as one might hope.

The corvette board is doing a memorial for him, if anyone is interested,
