http://www.outsideonline.com/news-from-the-field/Five-Kayakers-Missing-in-T... ) having set off their SPOT beacon. There is an appeal out for anyone with useful contacts or knowledge of the area etc. to get in touch with the rescue effort. From facebook page of their fellow American kayaker Rush Sturges:
"FROM Ken Lambla: IMPORTANT Re: kayakers in Tajikistan - Thank you everyone for your support. This has gone viral, so in an effort to coordinate communications with the various teams helping the guys, please do NOT reach out to contacts you may have in Tajikistan, or the region, or in the government - instead, contact Ken Lambla directly at 704-618-2332 or kalambla@uncc.edu. Keep the good vibes headed their way!"
Lets hope for the best!
