Looking at where James Kim died, I notice it is not far from the Black Bar Lodge (not shown), and not far from the Rogue River.

He could have been more cautious, heeded advice, but he had some map, perhaps paper, perhaps google, presenting a coldly rational path down highway 23... stripped of all human doubt. It's also possible that better maps could have helped them; maps that were an aggregation of all the social data available out there; that were filled with questions, comments, observations about the region, that pulsed with the seasons. Perhaps all we can hope to contribute to life is to take paths others have not yet taken; and of course in truly living there is always the risk of harm. But in this case his death seems particularily tragic. My heart goes out to those he leaves behind. - a
