Three people stranded in car near peak
It
was raining outside when the call came in at 2:00
p.m. that a car was stuck in the snow on the road
to Santa Rosa Peak. It was snowing in the
mountains and the sheriff needed someone equipped
for bad weather to get the people in the car.
RMRU members with two four wheel drive vehicles
started up the road. About half way up one of the
vehicles could go no further. The other only made
it a little further. Then it was on the
snowshoes. With extras tied on the packs.
After
about 2 miles, the stuck vehicle was sighted and
three cold people were found. After some hot
drinks and soup, the extra snowshoes were put on
the subjects feet and the hike down to the RMRU
four wheel drives. It took 1 ½ hours to get back
to the RMRU vehicles. Another hour to reach the
main highway. By the time everyone was home, it
was 10:00 p.m.
