9/7/2015 – Lost Hiker

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Mira Loma area in southeast Reno on the report of two lost hikers on Rattlesnake Mountain. Further information placed the subjects in the mountains east of Hidden Valley, so staging was moved to the dirt section of Mira Loma, behind Rattlesnake Mountain. Cell phone pings were used to locate the subjects (which turned out to be only one subject), but he kept moving. SAR teams finally caught up with him and guided him safely down to Hidden Valley Park.
