The Kims' saga is similar to the March sojourn of the Stivers family of Ashland.

Stivers family members reunite after the frightening ordeal.

The Stivers family was stranded for 17 days in a motor home during an ill-fated trip from Ashland to Gold Beach. They had more ample food supplies.

In that case, the four adults and two children intended to take Bear Camp Road to Gold Beach, but they missed the turn and ended up stranded north of the Rogue River. They were rescued after Pete Stivers and his wife, Marlo Hill-Stivers, both of Ashland, spent two days hiking out.

Some visiting members of the group later were found to be wanted on drug charges in Arizona.
