4/30/2017 – Lost Hiker

SAR Staff, SVU, and WCSAR responded to two locations to search for a lost hiker on the Whites Creek/Jones Creek Trail (the Hasty Team had been redirected to a mission for an EMS on the Hunter Creek Trail). A foot team started from the Galena Creek Park area, while another team was transported in by the SVU to just before the wilderness area on the Whites Creek trail. A third foot team deployed to the area of the trail that goes to Dry Pond. The subject had called 911 stating he was lost (snow in the area does make the trail difficult to locate). He was told to stay where he was, which he did. The team from the Whites Creek side located the subject and escorted him down to the location of the side x sides for transport back to staging.
