It's been almost a week, and still have no sign of two Grand Junction men who went missing in Nine Mile Canyon near Price, Utah.

Brian Axe and Mark Widegren were reported missing after they failed to return to work, something their families say isn't like them.

Brian axe's mother says their small search party isn't giving up.

It's made up of mostly family members and friends. But tomorrow will mark one week since anyone last heard from the men, and with cold temperatures and rugged terrain, the family admits it's sometimes difficult to stay optimistic.

"Being a mom, I hope I can find my son and hug him, and Mark because he is also my son as far as I'm concerned," Diana Woolery sayid.

Woolery is far from her Grand Junction home.

"I'm in the mountains right now. We have people on four wheelers and everything."

Searching for her son.

With the help of family, friends and volunteers, their search party is trying to take on as much land as possible.

But its been six days since the two 28-year-old pipeliners vanished, and searchers aren't finding much.

"We're kind of the blind leading the blind at the moment," Woolery said.

Last Saturday, Brian Axe and Mark Widegren paid their tabs at a bar in Price, Utah, and a bartender watched them walk out the door.

But no one has seen a trace from either man since, something that is so hard for a mother to grasp.

"As the days go by and the temperatures are so cold and we can't even find a vehicle, to be realistic, today we are looking for a vehicle," Woolery said.

That vehicle is a gold Jeep Grand Cherokee with Colorado plates, that a hunter in the area told police he may have seen driving on 5 Mile Road.

Today, a helicopter provided eyes from the sky, checking a remote area near 9 Mile Canyon Road.

Sportsman's Warehouse here in Grand Junction also pitched in for the effort, donating 2-way radios and flashlights.

"We just want to make sure we donate supplies to help out the family and everyone out there looking for them,” camping manager Troy Cook said.

Woolery said the search party has been looking and following tire tracks, anything that may be a sign to lead her to her son.
"It's cold out there,” she said. “It's hard to sleep when you know you got two boys, ok, I'm sorry I’m a mom, I’m calling them boys, they're 28-year-old men, I know that, but they're always going to be my boys."

With the help of AT&T, the family learned the last activity on either man's phone was a received text message around 12:30 am the night they went missing.

Friday, their search party grew from about 20 people to close to 50.

They usually stop looking at dark, and start the search back up first thing in the morning, but some of the searchers even stay out at night with trucks and floodlights.

The local Grand Junction Abby and Jennifer Recovery Foundation is also in Price, Utah working with the Carbon County Sheriff's Department to find the men.

If you would like to help but cannot make it to Utah, you can donate to any Wells Fargo Bank to the Brian Axe and Mark Widegren search and rescue fund.
