The articles are several hours old. JM was missing Wed. and Thurs. nights and has not yet been found despite an intense air and ground search.

Yellowstone staff has stepped up their search for JM. Eight hiking teams, five dog teams, four horse teams, and a helicopter have been dispatched in search of the missing man. Still no sign of him. The trail remains closed while the search continues.

It's never good when people go missing in the national parks ... so beautiful but dangerous, too. I sure hope they find him quickly.
