One more MSM report: Families, friends desperately hope for answers on loved ones

He was living (not camping, living) in a tent on Post Mountain, which is actually about 15 miles from Hayfork, as can be seen here: Google Maps

And if you zoom down close with google's overhead photography centered on Post Mountain: Google Maps,
lo and behold, "agriculture" abounds.

Trinity Journal mention:

Trinity's missing

It seems his camp site has been burned over, which really puts a crimp in the investigation.
