SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Thomas Creek Trailhead to search for a missing 19yo hiker that became separated from his family while hiking the Dry Pond trail from Thomas Creek to Whites Creek. The young man was not familiar with the area. Teams began checking the Dry Pond Trail, and Whites Creek Trail, as well as being positioned at likely exit points on other local trails. The subject was located near the intersection of the Whites Creek Trail and Dry Pond Trail just before it got dark. Negative medical needs. He was transported back to the staging location at Thomas Creek Trailhead.
