They were supposed to have come out on the Kekekabic- Trail on Sunday.
They haven't appeared yet.
Trevor Roy is in Grand Marais, Trevor - what can you tell us about these two women?
Julie, the search has been suspended for the night on Wednesday for the 23 and 42 year old women. The Kekekabic trail or the Kek as its known up hear is a difficult 40 mile hike from Ely to Grand Marais. In fact U.S. Forestry tell me the Kek is only hiked by about 50 people a year. The Kek was originally a fire access route for fire stations along the B.W.C.A.
The trail is extremely overgrown in parts and rescue crews have trouble even identifying the trail when they're on the ground.
The search itself is being conducted by the Lake County Search and Rescue squad, the St. Louis County Search and Rescue Squad, and members of the U.S. Forestry Service.
Hopefully the trail was tougher than they thought and it is taking longer. Lets hope they make it out OK.
Maria Jacenko, 42, and Grace Knezevich, 23, both of Duluth, have been missing since Monday night, the Cook County Sheriff's Office said.
"I'm sure they can survive a week without anything," Siebenand said this morning from the home that he and Jacenko share.
They have the right equipment and medical training.
Update 2: Alive well and in good spirits. Good news indeed!
