School group overdue on hike
At 10:00 PM Sunday night we received
a call from the Indio office of the Riverside
County Sheriff's Department that a hiking group
from the Desert Sun School was overdue in hiking
out to Valerie Jean from the Deep Canyon area.
While still in the gathering information stage,
word relayed down from the Palms to Pines Highway
that a large campfire could be seen in the canyon
bottom. It was decided that it would be better to
wait until morning and have the Sheriff's fixed
wing aircraft fly the lower canyon and see if
that was indeed the group.
The following morning the Indio
office phoned with news of the groups' return to
Valerie Jean.
