The cabin is approx. 6 to 7 seven miles from Hwy 108 where his truck was later located.  His wife reported Charles overdue to our office on Monday, 4\/24\/17 at approx. 1530 hours.  TCSO Search and Rescue immediately responded to the area and located the cabin but Charles was not there at that time.  A snowmobile believed to belong to Charles was later located approx. 2 miles away from the cabin with snowshoe tracks going away from the snowmobile.  The search is on-going with teams on the ground and air support.  The current search area is approx. 3 square miles in very challenging terrain.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18056715_1255772367875253_3442214015486579115_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18056715_1255772367875253_3442214015486579115_n.jpg 640w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18056715_1255772367875253_3442214015486579115_n-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18056715_1255772367875253_3442214015486579115_n-123x70.jpg 123w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18056715_1255772367875253_3442214015486579115_n-570x320.jpg 570w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18056715_1255772367875253_3442214015486579115_n-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18056715_1255772367875253_3442214015486579115_n-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18119203_1255402764578880_2051002233390149726_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"286\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18119203_1255402764578880_2051002233390149726_n.jpg 185w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/18119203_1255402764578880_2051002233390149726_n-150x232.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The terrain is rugged and rough containing canyons and bluffs.
