5/24/2018 – Stranded Off-Roaders

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the N. Virginia St. entrance to Peavine to search for two subjects that were stranded on the west side of Peavine. Cell phone coordinates placed them in an area that roads seemed not to exist. One team was able to get within .2 miles of the vehicle. With a bit of hiking from both the subjects and the searchers, they were able to meet up and were escorted down to the SAR vehicles. They were then transported back to staging where family met them for the transport home.

5/16/2018 – Stranded Subjects

SAR Staff, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the hills northeast of Golden Valley to search for what was initially reported as a single stranded subject, but turned out to be three subjects. When SAR teams located the vehicle, another vehicle had arrived on scene and was attempting to extricate the original stuck truck. The attempts were unsuccessful, so the original stranded subject was transported to staging by the second vehicle, escorted by SAR teams.
