5/10/2015 – Stranded Subjects

SAR Staff, Air Squadron, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Gerlach area to search for two 17 year old subjects that were stranded in their VW Jetta after visiting the Fly Geyser area. Cell phone coordinates were not useful, so teams were sent to the most likely locations where a vehicle of that nature could become stuck. A search team located the vehicle approximately 1.5 miles southwest of Double Hot Springs, high centered. Search personnel were able to extricate the vehicle and escort the subjects back to a staging location at the 12 Mile entrance to the Black Rock Desert.
