11/29/19 – Stuck Subjects on Peavine

SAR Staff and the SVU responded to the North Virginia entrance to Peavine to locate and rescue four subjects near the Red Metal Mine. They had gone out 4-wheeling in two vehicles earlier in the day, and one of them had mechanical difficulties. All four subjects go into the second vehicle and drove farther, becoming stuck in the snow. Side x sides were unable to access the location due to drifting snow, but a tracked ATV and a snowcat were able to locate the group and transport them back to staging.

11/28/19 – Stranded Subjects on Peavine

SAR Staff and the SVU responded to the Virginia St. entrance to Peavine to locate and transport five subjects that were stranded during a snowstorm on the west side of Peavine. Side x sides were not able to get to the location, so a snowcat was brought in to rescue the individuals. All subjects were transported down to staging.

11/1/19 – Overdue Hunter

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, and the SVU responded to an area near Old Camp, north of SR447 to search for an overdue elderly hunter. Using information from the reporting party (her hunting partner) and statistical probability information, the missing person was located approximately 3.5 miles from the point last seen. RAVEN guided a ground unit to the location, and she was transported to staging.
