Member Center:
The search has been called off for a man last seen getting off a bus on Monarch Pass more than 24 hours ago. The bus was heading from Poncha Springs to Gunnison.
Authorities say about 6 Friday evening a passenger asked to get off apparently to relieve himself.
He was last seen walking into a wooded area. When he did not return... the driver called for help.
Chaffee County Search and Rescue Crews searched for the man until about 11 Saturday night. They started looking again Sunday.
Other tracking teams and National Guard helicopters also joined the search today.
The man's full name is not yet known, and the driver said he may have either been intoxicated or mentally disabled.
Authorities are still trying to find out who the man is or where he might be trying to go.
