CALGARY — A Fort Macleod couple has been reported missing after failing to make it home from a day trip down to the Fernie area.

If you are an idiot tourist heading to a town to visit friends why would you decide to bugger way the hell and gone up a sideroad in the mountains that you knew nothing about?Wonder how much it cost for the search?

They were going through the Hartley Pass from Fernie over to the Sulphur Creek/Bull river area..Hell, that road is hardly passable in June....At least they were found safe and sound...

Very good point. They were just naiive, I guess, but also very irresponsible.

It was the kids I felt sorry for. Not knowing if they'd ever see their parents again.
