There is somethin wrong with his coords, The second set of digits have 7 digits and should have 6 and a Letter N or W. Looking on google earth I place him on Forrest Rd 223 around 2,904m elevation, in the Upper Kerr Rec area. If I suss the coords right?

Hey everyone, Roland is out and safe. Thank you for all the support. I'd have been there, but I'm in a kilt at 575, drinking green beer. If y'all are in town now, come to 575 and have a rescue beer!

32.8771099, -105.7761835

In decimal notation, the fractional part can be few or many digits depending upon precision of reading. Here is what Google Maps says his location is - 32.87710996124784, -105.77618358386981

When N/S or E/W is not present, a positive offset is presumed (N/E). Since he is W of Prime Meridian, a "-" is added on the longtiude, to tell you it is W.
