Baum, who lives in Tennessee, arrived in McCleary over the weekend with his heart in a knot. The father said he had to get clearance from his military superiors before making the trip.

On Monday nearly 60 searchers - the largest number of ground searchers to date - searched a nearby off-road vehicle park, as well as the hills beyond them.

And the search hasn't been easy. The Capitol Forest is 80,000 acres of steep hillsides, miles of rugged terrain and countless roadways.

A change in the weather on Monday gave the search teams a second wind. The cooler temperatures also helped the dog teams pick up scents.

Missing McCleary Girl's 11th Birthday Is Tuesday

Scott Baum says, "Please bring my daughter home. I'm fixing to deploy to Iraq and tomorrow is her birthday and I would love nothing more than to see my daughter before I have to go."

Lindsey's mom Melissa says, "I just want my baby back. That's all I want is for her to come home and I want her to be here for her 11th birthday."

Melissa planned to take Lindsey to the new Harry Potter movie for her birthday and get her a digital camera.

Meanwhile, today dozens of searchers including dogs continued to look for Lindsey. They focused on a nearby ORV park now that holiday travelers have left. The park, which is a few miles east of McCleary, also provides more parking for search & rescue vehicles.

The father of a missing McCleary girl has pleaded for her safe return. Scott Baum said during a news conference yesterday in the small Grays Harbor County town that he wants to see his daughter again before deploying to Iraq. Baum is a member of the Tennessee National Guard and says he's deploying soon. Lindsey Baum has been missing since June 26, when she left a friend's house but never made it home. The girl is 4-foot-9, 80 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a light blue hooded pullover shirt and blue jeans. Today (Tuesday) is Lindsey's 11th birthday. Authorities yesterday were searching an off-road vehicle park four miles from McCleary. Investigators have also searched Lindsey's computer and brought in search dogs again.

&#8220;Please bring my daughter home&#8221;
Searchers &#8220;a long way from throwing in the towel&#8221;

Today is her 11th birthday.

Scott Baum had last seen his daughter about a year ago. He now faces deployment in the coming weeks, but hopes to see Lindsey before he leaves.

The upcoming McCleary Bear Festival offers investigators another chance to talk to people and spread information on Lindsey&#8217;s disappearance. Despite concerns about thinning law enforcement resources on the 11th day of searching, Scott said investigators will remain dedicated to bringing the girl back to her family.

&#8220;We&#8217;ll have officers in McCleary until Lindsey is found,&#8221; he said.

For now though, her birthday passes as a solemn affair. Her family gathered from across the country, but missing its center and any reason to celebrate.

With a light rain coming down Monday, Scott Baum stared into the television cameras and asked anyone with information to call authorities.

&#8220;I would love nothing more than to see my daughter before I go,&#8221; he said, holding up the flier. &#8220;Please bring my daughter home before I have to leave.&#8221;

Scott Baum, father of missing 10-year-old Lindsey Baum, watches Monday afternoon as reporters ask about the most recent developments in the search for the girl, who disappeared from a McCleary street on June 26.
