Well, some thoughts: 1) It is not yet winter. So any warning about winter would not be applicable, right? Perhaps a better warning is, "This route closed beginning with the first snowfall," or something similar. 2) Staying with the vehicle is a great idea. In this case, I believe the guy did stay with the vehicle for quite a number of days, considering the food situation, and only in desparation struck out to find help.

A Rand-McNally map did not have a similar warning. I'd only call it a "mistake" if R-M had intended to put the warning in but didn't. I would agree that R-M would better serve the market by including this information. And not to put any blame on the family, but how many people examine a map before buying it to see whether it includes the types of information they need?
