Law enforcement in the Riggins area are searching for two missing Coeur d'Alene men.

Patrick Lusk, 27, and Jason Gritten, 35, reportedly planned to canoe across the Salmon River and hike to a hot springs, according to a press release issued by the Idaho County Sheriff's Office this morning.

"The pair failed to return home when planned and were reported overdue by family," the press release states.

On Sunday at 7:15 p.m., Idaho County dispatch was advised of the two missing men who were possibly missing in the French Creek area of Salmon River Road.

Idaho County Cpl. Jonny Wilson responded to the area and located the vehicle the men were reported to be driving. Wilson searched the immediate area by spotlight and was unable to locate the men.

Then, on Monday, Cpl. Justin Scuka and Idaho Department of Fish and Game Officers Roy Kimmer and Dennis Brandt searched the river for several hours by boat, but still could not find the men.

The search, which resumed this morning, will continue with the assistance of members of the Idaho County Sheriff's Office search and rescue team.

Lusk, who works at Ground Force Worldwide in Post Falls, and Gritten are neighbors and were bear hunting in the Riggins area last weekend, according to posts on Facebook.

"We have found their camp, trailer and canoe," Lusk's wife Megan posted on Facebook on Monday. "There have been no signs of them. Please keep us in our prayers. We are praying and hoping both guys are found safe."

Several friends of the two men indicated they are headed to Riggins to join the search with Megan and others.

More information will be released when it's available.
