Mounties in northeastern B-C say "extensive resources" including police dogs have been deployed in the search for a man who has failed to return from a 10-day camping trip in a remote provincial park.
R-C-M-P say Sam Benastick's family reported him missing on Saturday, after he didn't come home from the trip to Redfern-Keily Park, about 250 kilometres northwest of Fort St. John.
They say Benastick started his hike on October 7th, his last update to his family was the following day, and he was supposed to return last Thursday.
The Mounties say Benastick is an avid hiker and camper, leaving for the trip with a tarp, a black Osprey backpack with red strings and other supplies -- and anyone who has has visited the Redfern-Keily Park area since October 7th is asked to contact the Northern Rockies R-C-M-P detachment.
