SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Black Rock Desert to search for two subjects that were stuck in a wet area of the Black Rock Desert, in the vicinity of the Quinn River – south of Black Rock Point. ATV’s were able to travel across the playa, but 4×4 searchers were forced to take an alternate route to get to Double Hot Springs. An ATV team located the subjects approximately eleven miles southeast of Double Hot Springs. They were able to extricate the vehicle from the mud, and escort the subjects to the 4×4 teams at Double Hot. Everyone returned to the staging at the 12 mile entrance to the Black Rock, taking various routes due to damp playa conditions.
