Julian Sands is missing

[samhexum]

Julian Sands, a British actor known for films like A Room with a View and Leaving Las Vegas, is missing after he was last seen hiking California's Mt. Baldy on Friday. A spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department confirms to Yahoo Entertainment that "search and Rescue crews responded and began a search." The news comes as Southern California's mountains have been pummeled by storms in recent weeks.

"Due to trail conditions and the risk of avalanche, the ground crews were pulled off the mountain on Saturday evening," a spokesperson shared on Wednesday. "However, we continue to search by helicopter and drones when weather permits. We will schedule another ground search when the weather improves, and it is safe for our ground crews."

This is another example of why exercise & physical exertion are bad for you.

This is always sad, and I hope he is found OK, but that's a long time in bad weather.

He is 65, so if in good health that shouldn't be a factor, but it is reaching the age where hiking in bad weather is likely not the best idea.

What's bad for you is not reading warning signs:

Not bad as a young man. What a pity if he didn't make a more than a few days into senior citizenship...

I should've been a celebrity. That way people would at least see me as the hottie I once was. Probabaly score me allot of hot ass in the future.

That man was damned handsome in “A Room With a View.”  Such a delightful movie, and surprisingly funny.  And that skinny-dipping scene….

Where did you read that? The sources I read imply he was alone. And not one report I've heard has said "Julian Sands and his hiking companion...."

He played a good warlock.  I hope he's ok.

Where did you get the information that he was hiking with a guide? I have searched several sources, and the most I can get is:

https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/julian-sands-missing-remote-stormy-california-mount-baldy/

"It is unclear why he was hiking on Mount Baldy, and whether or not he is alone."

I, too, hope he's OK. I would never think of hiking in such conditions, but if I had to, I would certainly take something like this along:

And you don't want to admit that you just made it up. People will respect you more if you take responsibility for what you say.

Julian was alone with a guide. His children had  some idea as to where  . their dad might have been.

I think he was referring to "a guide" in the sense of "a device that helps you find your way".  Just like a "guidebook" can be called a "guide".  Maybe he didn't necessarily mean there was an actual person with him.  In other words, he wasn't just aimlessly wandering about the woods.....

No, there is a guide with Julian according to his children who are there as of two days ago. Thanks for your concern

Sands and Hawthorne went off separately, at different time, as the reporter suggests.

No, he altered his prior post, which was a response to my query in which he said point-blank that Sands was not alone, which, in turn, was a response to my posting of the photo of the sign at the start of the trail which warns not to hike alone. His post which now starts with "my focus is great concern" previously stated that he was hiking with a guide. That, in turn, was a response to my asking how he knew Sands was not alone in a previous post of his.  

Even more deceptively, he then added in a later post "Julian was alone with a guide," contradicting both of his previous postings in which he asserted Sands was not alone. I don't think I've seen such contemptible attempts to obfuscate facts in all of my years on this message center.
