10/2/19 – Pyramid Lake Boat in Distress

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and the SVU began responding to Pyramid Lake on the report of a boat in distress near the Willows. IMT was able to contact the RP, and they were having a rough time in the choppy waters and called for assistance in case something happened. The water calmed down enough for them to navigate back to Pelican Docks and were met by SAR Staff. SAR response was cancelled.

SAR Staff and the SVU responded to the west Keystone Canyon Trailhead to search for a mountain biker who was cold and disoriented, located near the Halo Trail.
