Sixteen KHSAR volunteers searched the surrounding 30km of logging roads on foot and in a utility task vehicle. The search was suspended at 3 a.m. and started again at 9 a.m. Sunday morning with the help of Mission SAR.
The man was found dead at noon that Sunday, at the 25km mark of the Forest Service Road, just north of Cogburn Creek.
According to KHSAR manager Neil Brewer, “poor weather and darkness hampered the search through the night.”
KHSAR sends its condolences to the family and friends of the young man.
