At least we know they are searching for him. Sure hope he is found.

Searchers returned Wednesday to Hood Mountain to continue looking for a 71‑year‑old hiker missing since Saturday, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office.

About 10 members of the sheriff’s search‑and‑rescue team Tuesday combed the park until about 11 p.m. Tuesday, using motorcycles and hiking, said sheriff’s Lt. Mike Raasch. Wednesday two tracking dogs also were added to the effort.

If he’s not found Wednesday, officials were set to ask for aid from neighboring counties to bolster the effort, Raasch said.
