Having lost my 18 year old son recently, I am afraid I know all to well what Garrett's family is going thru. My prayers are with them and if my health had been better, I too would have been out at pass lake helping to search for him. I agree that if the safety quidelines had been followed, Garrett might still be with us today. My son failed to follow safe driving quidelines to wear his set belt and not drive when he was tired; he fell asleep at the wheel, rolled his car and sadly paid with his life. Sadly, when you fail to follow safety quidelines, life will sometimes demand the ultimate from you. In my opinion the high unitas here in Utah are not the place for new scouts or inexperienced people. The area is very easy to get lost in. Storm's can move in quickly catching you off guard and fog can totally get you lost in a hurry. I would only take experienced scouts or varsity scouts in such an area. May God guide those still looking for Garrett, that he wouldn't have to lay there thru the winter.
