Missing hiker calls on cell phone
By Gene Baune
At
approximately 1830 on November 5, RMRU responded
to a Riverside Sheriff's Department request to
search for a lost hiker. A 39 year old
woman had hiked to a peak in the Carumba area and
became disoriented. She thought that she
would need assistance getting out in the dark and
contacted her husband by cell phone. Upon
arrival at Humber Park RMRU team members began
setting up base and sent a team up the Devil's
Slide Trail to Saddle Junction.
Approximately 1 mile up the trail the team met
the missing hiker. An abort was sent out and team
members completed necessary paperwork and went
home at 2100.
