Search ends for remains of adventurer
A team of elite athletes and expert mountaineers has ended a weeklong hunt for the remains of Steve Fossett, finding no sign of the missing adventurer or his plane but eliminating miles of rugged terrain from areas that still must be searched.
The 10 searchers, headed by Canadian geologist and adventure racer Simon Donato, packed up their gear after taking a day to explore a steep canyon in Nevada’s Wassuk Range, dominated by 11,239-foot-high Mt. Grant. That followed six days of hiking in the Sweetwater Mountains and Bodie Hills.
