5/30/2016 – Lost Hiker in Dog Valley

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR assisted Sierra County S.O. and SAR by responding to the Bordertown entrance to Dog Valley to search for a lost female hiker. Cell phone coordinates were not accurate due to tower coverage, but a cell phone map location, provided by the subject, provided a fairly accurate location. The subject had been camping with family at the Crystal Peak campground, but got confused as to her location while on a solo hike. Washoe County Deputies, coming in from the Verdi side, located the subject and transferred her to a Hasty truck for transport down to staging for medical evaluation. She was then handed over to Sierra County Deputies for transport back to her camp.
