Two women stuck on Sunday drive
By Darrell Bell
Two ladies thought it would be a
good day to take a drive so they entered Bee
Canyon by Cranston Station and started driving up
to Idyllwild. There had been rain for a couple of
days [light rain but steady] so they decided [7
miles in] to turn around. In doing so they got
the vehicle stuck. One walked out and left the
other. The first lady found a family in Pine Cove
and they started down the road. She became
concerned and returned home to call 911. The
second lady became impatient and cold so she
started walking, found a residence and broke in
to call 911. Idyllwild Fire Department took the
call and went to the Residence and brought her
into the headquarters to warm her up and told the
sheriffs department she had been found.
Hemet Search and Rescue had started from the
bottom of Bee Canyon with two teams and RMRU
dispatched one team and the Van for
Communication. Ralph Hoetger and Lee Arnson had
just started down from the top when the abort was
sent out. We were finished only a couple hours
after we had started.
