SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR began responding to the Thomas Creek trailhead to search for two subjects that were hiking the Rim to Reno trail, but misjudged the amount of time it would take. They also ran out of power with their cell phone, which was being used for navigation. As teams were arriving in the area, the subjects were located by a patrol deputy near the wilderness boundary on the Thomas Creek Road.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to both the Thunderbird Lodge area, and the entrance to Marlette Lake off of Hwy. 28 to search for two hikers that were lost somewhere in the Marlette area. Locating them through cell phone pings was hampered by the fact that their 911 calls were not going to the Washoe County dispatch center. SAR Staff used coordinates from the subjects phone to guide foot teams to the location. Foot teams were able to locate the subjects by voice contact, and they were escorted to staging.
