A California family is frantically searching for 21-year-old college student Hunter Lewis after he went missing while in the final stages of preparing a large-scale scavenger hunt.

Lewis, an aerospace engineering student at Cal State University at Long Beach, went missing back on December 30 after guiding a canoe from Trinidad Beach in the Humboldt County area of far northern California to Flatiron Rock, a small island just off the shore.

He had been planning a scavenger hunt on social media for the last two years, and was intending to place the final piece of treasure on Flatiron Rock during the fateful trip.
