9/9/2018 – Lost Hiker

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and WCSAR assisted Carson City and Douglas County in searching for a missing/lost subject in the Skunk Harbor area of Lake Tahoe. The subject had gone hiking the previous afternoon and was not heard from at a predetermined time. Ground teams searched the area into Saturday night before the mission was suspended. Teams were about to begin again early Sunday morning, but a Fallon Longhorn helicopter located the subject on the shore of Lake Tahoe and performed a hoist. The subject was taken to a landing zone where he was checked out by medical personnel.
