SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and the SVU responded to the entrance to Quail Canyon on SR445 to search for the wife and daughter of a subject that had walked approximately seven miles to get cell phone service to call for help. Their vehicle had slid off a muddy dirt road into a ditch. A Pyramid Lake Officer was able to get to the father, but couldn’t go any farther. The father was brought down to staging and acted as a guide for the teams that were sent in to bring the two other subjects out. The wife and daughter were located in the vehicle about nine miles from staging. They were packaged in warm clothes and blankets, placed in side x sides, and transported down to staging. They were then transported back to Reno.
