6/9/2016 – Lost/Stuck Dirt Biker

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Verdi entrance for Dog Valley to locate a dirt biker who had developed mechanical issues, and was not on any road or trail. The mechanical issue preceded his attempt to compression start his bike, going downhill, off the dead-end road he was following. He ended up crashing his bike and breaking his clutch lever. There was no easy route to his coordinates, so foot teams were deployed from two different locations in an effort to get to his cell phone ping location. Once he was located, he was walked back to waiting vehicles and brought back to staging.
