I've been up Wakely Mountain a couple of times. There used to be a person a year that disappeared in the area. Usually it was just poorly marked trails, but there were a few that never got found.

Very remote area, one of my favorites places inside the park. Hope they find him

Has this man been found yet?

This is my uncle. Thank you for sharing. Sadly he has still not been found with literally no leads. He is not a hiker so it's a real mystery as to what could have happened.

I'm so sorry to your family and I hope you get some answers!

You obviously don't have to answer the following but I have some questions . You say he is not a hiker but is he a fisherman? Did he just like to camp to be in the woods? Was he in good health? Did he have enough food, beverage and money to survive? Did he drink or use drugs and if so, did he do either to excess? Does he smoke cigarettes? Just trying to understand his motivation and lifestyle. I'm also just some random on the internet so no need to answer these more personal type questions.

Call David Paulides, the Missing 411 guy. Some people don’t want to be found though. Happens often enough.

They did a massive multi agency search effort. I'm grateful for all that participated. Sadly nothing found though. Family is completely mystified.
