|  Wow! To the Chambers Family I stumbled on this website today and was blown away. I had the pleasure of working with both Ryan and Jarrad up in the tropics. I have read all the posts and am amazed at the strength of character that you guys have. Keep up the search and have faith! Nat |

| Widening the search While "Ryanhunting" on the net the other morning on a different thread I noticed a post from Styler who has now kindly agreed to take posters to Manali on his next trip. He also has friends in that area. That lead me to wonder if other IMers may have contacts or be visiting places such as Shimla,Dharamsala and Jaipur? We are waiting on Ryan's photo to be updated by a chap, said to be one of the leading forensic/graphic artists in Australia. I presume there will be migration from the 4 dhams of Gangotri, Yumnotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath as the snows come in November. Do the last 3 close up for winter as we found in Gangotri last year? Always appreciative of your help and advice. Jock and Di Last edited by Jock and Di; Sep 24th, 2006 at 12:39.. |

| I just want to let you know that I have been following this thread sporadically and every time I log in on IM I too hope there will be some good news. I often think about you, Ryan's family, and what you must be going through, and I pray that your son/brother will be with you very soon. Karolina |

Haven't posted anything on here for a while but just wanted to say a quick thank you for taking the time to continue to post words of encouragement. While I may not post too much here, I, and the rest of my family, check this site on a regular basis and it really is uplifting to know that so many people out there, many of whom we have never met, do care and want to express that. With all the crap that is going on in the world, and all the negativity you get on a daily basis from the news and other people, isn't it great to be reassured that the world IS made up of truly amazing people that have a heart and that care about others? So, from me and the rest of the crew, thank you. Cheers, azz | |

| The Power Of Word Di, Jock, Aaron and Jarrod, "Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate...it is that we are powerful beyond measure." This quote which is commonly used by Nelson Mandela pretty much sums up how powerful words of support can be during this time for you guys. Di, I am amazed at how strong you have been, and thankful that you have an amazing support system worldwide. Each day when I see you at work, I smile to myself because I know that when "the tough gets going, the going gets tough," you can pick yourself up and just SMILE. You display these qualities as you continue with life and your compassion towards others is commendable. I am often thinking about you all and pray that one day Ryan will return home as if he never left. Sorry I haven't posted on here in ages, I haven't forgotten. Keep strong as we band together as ONE. Love Always Nat Shanahan |

| Sand Dunes in India I have noticed the Sam Sand Dunes near Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Does anyone know if there are others similar to these in other areas? |

| I have a little plan for those wonderful people, Jock & Di - they have been so supportive of our children during the past year, when most people would have been the opposite at a time like they have had. Most recently, apart from telephone calls around the world and raising massive funds for our kids for Christmas and THEN SOME......  I know how much these dear people mean to many of us here - SO, although I cant tell you about it in this post (they just might be looking  ) would you please PM me and I will give you details.Thanks a bunch people!

| G'day Chambers family... not much that i could really say that hasn't been said before. Just letting you all know im still here thinking of that crazy little Ba#*?@d! Was also wondering if anyone knows how long email accounts stay active for if no one has been using them?? Because i still write emails to Ryan and they still always go through to him ...which i would have thought meant that someone has been logging on to his account. Anyway just thinking out loud. Take care guys |

| My best wishes to all this family and friends. I can't believe how things like these can happen, I hope he just wanted to live alone somewhere up in the mountains, but he doesn't sound like someone who would've done something like that without telling his family. I really hope everything turns out to be nothing serious. I'll pray for him... |

| Jock and Di (& all those involved), just thinking of you. It's been so long hasn't it... I'm impressed with the way you're handling it, being one of the most active contributors to the jokes thread of all things! Best wishes, M.
