We've been following this story all week. University President from Columbia went to the preserve to take some photos at 5pm. This is about 2.5 hours before sunset. He took a cab and told the driver to wait. He would be gone 45 minutes...but did not return.

He was found today !

I've been to this place many times. Many trails but if you get off the trail and don't have a GPS or compass you could be lost. It is very quite and unless there are people walking and talking on the trail...you're done !

Clearly, the cab driver was aware of how oblivious photographers are to the passage of time.

....and more likely had his eye on a 4 hour meter so wasn't in a rush !

Cool, glad he was found safe.

You've got a typo, though, I thought he was a president of Columbia University, but he's from the country Colombia (different spelling).

But think og the number of hits his Flicker stream is getting! Well worth four days of eating roots and drinking urine, as long as you don't run out of batteries or CF cards.
