SAR Staff, a Hasty medic, and the SVU responded to an area north of Gerlach to locate the vehicle and rescue two subjects and a dog that had become stuck in snow on Sunday afternoon, 2/20. On Monday afternoon, the subjects decided to start walking in an attempt to find cell service, which is a rare commodity in that location. Fortunately, they walked the right way and found cell service. A Gerlach deputy attempted to get to the location as the SAR team was en route, but he was unable to get to the stuck subjects. Heavy snow was in progress as the team navigated to the location, moved the subjects to a fully enclosed side x side, and traveled back to staging. The subjects were transported back to Gerlach for the night.
