Have you guys considered checking with The Desert Botanical Gardens? I'm sure you did- it's just that he teaches classes there on weekends sometimes which I'm sure you know... just trying to rack my brain for anything helpful at all...
Crosses fingers everything is all right.
He is in my thoughts.
You know I always found his comments on photos incredibly insightful and very helpful,even though he has never commented on mine :-( I just hope I get the chance to tell him how much I have learnt from his comments and his amazing photography.
Anybody know if Steve frequents other forums, clubs or chat rooms? Even if he hasn't logged on lately, he mght have mentioned that he was going to go camping or something.
Forest service is being notified to be on the look out for it.
They need to get a subpeona to get phone or credit card records and that is in process.
I've thought of driving around to places I know he goes, but there are so many it would almost be pointless and most that he would go to this time of year are hours away. We sent an email to the arboretum to look for his car. I'll contact the botanical garden as well.
Posting the info on other forums can't hurt. Feel free to do so.
Keep a look out for his car:
Lic plate#: 072-EEL
Silver 1998 Honda Accord
If you see it call 480-644-2211. THere is nothing saying he didn't leave arizona, he could be anywhere.
Funny side note, first time I met Steve in person was at a GTG at the zoo. About 20 minutes into the day he got lost...
I'm hoping to hear him say "jeeze guys why did you make such a big deal of this! And thanks for breaking my window."
I'll post more as I know more. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Daryl (or anyone else who knows Steve), does Steve have any medical conditions that could likely contribute to him becoming ill or passing out somewhere (diabetes, etc.) or could possibly speed up the ability for the authorities to search for him?

Yes, the police have been made aware, but we only have limited knowledge of his condition as he doesn't talk about it and doesn't like people fussing over him.
"WHAT THE...! What is wrong with you people?!? I was in the bathroom! Can't a guy go to the bathroom without you people filing a missing persons report!?!"
Thanks for all the info and hard work Daryl, Steve is very lucky to have a friend like you. I'm keeping up my prayers for him that he is ok, which he probably is. He'll come back and laugh at this thread and post a bunch of beautiful photos of his trip.
Would it be possible for the admins to *pin* this at the top of the front page forums list, so that if he just pops into to look at the FPage he will see it sraight away and respond? Just a thought;)
