Thought I would post the following in case people are out in the area. This was on the CBC.ca website
The RCMP in Smithers, B.C., are searching for two newlyweds from Britain who disappeared after leaving on a backcountry camping trip nearly three weeks ago.
Caroline and Ben Davies arrived in B.C. in June on a visit to family. The couple, who are both experienced in the outdoors, then borrowed a truck to head north toward Alaska to do some camping.
Their last contact with their family was on June 22 when they called from Smithers to say they were planning on renting some kayaks and meeting up with someone they recently met in the area.
They were scheduled to return to Vancouver on July 4, and were reported missing to police on July 10, according to Sgt. Rob Vermeulen.
Caroline is described as 28 years old, five feet three inches tall, 120 pounds, with brown shoulder-length curly hair and brown eyes, said police.
Ben is described as 37 years old, five feet 11 inches tall, 210 pounds, athletic build and brown short hair, said police.
The vehicle they were traveling in is a 2008 black Mazda B230 pickup truck with B.C. license plate AL 6943 with a unique and distinctive white camper canopy, said police.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen the couple or their vehicle to call the Smithers RCMP at (250) 847-3233 immediately.
