Overdue bicyclist
San Jacinto
Mountains
At
approximately 10:30 p.m. on July 4th a report was
received that a person in the mountains was
probably lost, or perhaps down. The Sheriff's
office reported that a man who was riding a
bicycle on the Pacific Crest Trail was past due
at his point of being picked up on the highway
below.
Three team
members who live in the Idyllwild area were
contacted. They got their packs ready to hike and
stood by for more information from the Sheriff's
Office. During that time the man arrived at the
prearranged place of his waiting ride home.
The stand-by
group was notified of this development and they
returned to their homes.
