CNET Senior Editor James Kim's heart wrenching lost-in-the-Oregon-wilderness story came to a tragic end yesterday while James' wife Kati and two kids were rescued. The recovery of Kim's body ended an 11-day ordeal for his young family, who through amazing resourcefulness managed to survive for over a week after getting lost Nov. 25 on a mountain pass on their way home to San Francisco after spending Thanksgiving in Seattle. The Grants Pass Swift Water Rescue Team who followed Kim's trail and discovered his body, also had an incredibly tough time searching the treacherous Oregon terrain. So how did a the Kim family end up here? The family's ordeal began when they missed a Highway 42 exit from Interstate 5. They had eaten dinner in Roseburg, Ore., and were trying to make it over the mountains to the coastal town of Gold Beach where they planned to stay the night, Kati Kim told authorities after her rescue. Looking at an Oregon map, they decided to take Bear Camp Road out of Grants Pass instead. The road is primarily used in the summer by rafters on the Rogue River. The route isn't plowed in the winter. It is unknown so far if Kim's vehicle has a GPS installed.
