Good Evening Everyone,
I am coming to you with a plea for help,
A friend of mine, Jon Francis, is lost on Grand Mogul Mountain in the Sawtooth mountains near Stanley, Idaho. He left on a day trip Saturday Morning to climb the mountain, and was expected back that evening. Mid-Sunday when he had not returned, the bible camp that he is working for reported him missing. Last Night, Tuesday the 18th, the official search was called off due to a lack of resources. I am asking you to PLEASE take a minute of your time to contact Jim Risch the Governer of Idaho asking that the search be continued. There is a form to do so here: http://gov.idaho.gov/ourgov/contact.html
The last known 'contact' with Jon was when he signed the log book at the top of the mountain. He signed "Glory to God -Jon Francis" and has not been heard from since. Jon is an experienced outdoorsman, and an accomplished athlete. He knows how to take care of himself, and how to survive, but we're coming up on five days here, which is a LONG time when only equipped for a single day.
Also, if you know anyone who is an experienced mountaineer, or a private pilot willing to take some of their time to help with the search, all help is GREATLY appreciated. Please call my cell directly (six five one, four nine one, eight zero seven four) if you can help with this.
The story has been on the news a few times now, here are some links for more information.
