FOUND SAFE!!— JONATHAN BAILEY AND WRIGLEY

We are very happy to share some good news: Jonathan Bailey and his dog, Wrigley, have been located alive and are safe.

Today marked Day 7 of the search for Jonathan and Wrigley, who had set out from Elkhart Park toward 1000 Island Lake in the Wind River Range.

After seven days of searching, both Jonathan and Wrigley were located alive and brought to safety.

Search and rescue missions in the Wind River Range can involve vast distances, rugged terrain, rapidly changing weather, and limited communications. Each successful outcome is a reminder of the skill, commitment, and countless volunteer hours given by the men and women of Tip Top Search and Rescue.

We also want to thank the members of the public who shared Jonathan’s information, kept an eye out along the trails, and provided information during the search. In a backcountry search, even a seemingly small piece of information can make a difference.

Most importantly, tonight Jonathan gets to go home — and Wrigley does too.

Another great ending to a search in Sublette County.

Welcome back, Jonathan and Wrigley!
