I hope they are found alive, and soon. I hear the DOW doesn't have the money or manpower to go look for them, and Drinky Pete thinks the soldiers are losers who should stay lost...

Not to make light of the situation, but I wouldn't mind being unfindable in Morocco for a while.

I had a fantastic time there back in the 90's. Tangier is an especially interesting place with so many varied cultural influences.

I spent a day in Tangier. Took the ferry over from Torremolinos. I figured, when I am ever going to get a change to see Africa again?

Or southern Spain for that matter.

Kerouac and Orlovsky. Burroughs in his suit in the sand in Tangier. Now I can say I saw this beach.
