Searching for Michael

imported
#1

My brother-in-law, Michael Vasta has been missing since October 1st and is somewhere in the Ramsey Draft Wilderness. As of yesterday, the search was called off because another hiker said that he believes he saw him and he was in good health. While this news is somewhat reassuring, it is not the outcome that the family has desired because WE still haven’t seen him. His brother (my husband), his father and two friends began their trek through the woods today and were unsuccessful in finding him. Because of the lack of resources, we are really hoping that other hikers in the area may want lend a helping hand. You can contact me at 305.433.7687 Elaina Vasta.

Thank you in advance.

I’m sorry you and your family are having this uncertainty. Is this wilderness area on the AT? I’m not familiar with it. Can you post more specific location information, state, nearest roads, etc/

It’s the site after the Braley’s Pond entrance. It’s the Old Mountain House pull off to the left off of 250 towards monterey. He was seen along Bald Rock about an 11 mile hike from where his car is parked.
