Tillamook County authorities are searching for two campers who failed to return to a campground early Tuesday morning.



Undersheriff Jana McCandless of the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office said the two men—one 35- and the other 53-years-old—left the Cedar Creek Campground off of Oregon 6 east of Tillamook just after midnight Tuesday and were due back at 2 a.m.



Fellow campers called the sheriff's office Tuesday morning to report them missing, McCandless said.



The men's names were not released, but officials said they were driving a 1998 green Ford Explorer, with Oregon license plate WBR922.



The search continued Wednesday, employing the resources of the sheriff's office, Tillamoook County Search and Rescue volunteers, the Oregon Department of Forestry and the Oregon Air National Guard.



Anyone with information on the missing men is asked to call the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office at 503-842-2561.
