It’s a well known crash site, on a popular motorcycle off road trail. The pilot bailed out and survived.

The forests up here are no joke. A few years back a guy against better judgement tried to forge ahead near White Pass Washington on the PCT trail, in an effort to reach Canada. The weather became very soupy, foggy... it’s a white out. I’ve been in that area with dirt bikes and you cannot see more than a few feet in front of your face.

The guy probably made a weather shelter using branches then froze to death. They have searched the trail, about 30 miles area I’d guess and have signs up. Gone without a trace.

Every August the family organizes a search party for him - and has quite a few from the long-distance hiking community come out and help look for his remains or any sign of him.

Still nothing found and unless it's dumb luck they won't find him.

Same for the latest guy lost in Rocky Mountain National Park. The others were found, eventually. He's been missing 18 months now and still no trace of him.

I doubt they'll find him either.
