I would classify that as "not" a short time after revelstroke because he took off at 1430 and arrived in spences bridge area around 1555-1615 ish (last Radar contact point),maybe a bit earlier for spences bridge, if he went by there
this statement you quote was really early on in the search effort (2nd-3rd day maybe) and i think it was misquoted or mis-spoke
he didnt report by salmon arm he didnt report by kamloops so why would he report near spences brodge and to whom would he report to i wonder
in any case i don't think cadieux got i right when he briefed the media or maybe the media copied it wrong
just my opinion but it would be nice to know whats correct wouldn't it
