SAR Staff, Air Squadron, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Gerlach area to search for an overdue group of campers that were last seen two days previous in High Rock Canyon. As teams were being deployed, the missing subjects entered cell phone coverage and received messages from the reporting party, as well as SAR Staff. They called all parties to let them know they were fine and there had been some miscommunication between the reporting party and the overdue campers.

The subject was located near the intersection of the Whites Creek Trail and Dry Pond Trail just before it got dark. Negative medical needs. He was transported back to the staging location at Thomas Creek Trailhead.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded to multiple areas – Tahoe Meadows, Davis Creek Park, Franktown Rd. – to access Upper Price Lake on the report of two young adults and one juvenile having medical problems. RAVEN attempted to conduct a hoist, but winds prevented this tactic. Foot teams were sent down the Ophir Creek Trail from Tahoe Meadows, up the Ophir Creek Trail from Davis Creek Park, and ATV’s/UTV’s accessed the area through Little Valley. Foot teams arrived at the location and did an initial assessment. It was determined that the three subjects and two dogs should be tranpsorted by UTV’s down to staging where they were eventually released to a family member.
