Around 1400 on Saturday, May 18th, a call went out for a lost hiker on Seven Pines Trail. Aviation was temporarily unavailable for a hoist, so RMRU was activated. There were no medical issues or injuries reported.
The closest RMRU members were several hours out, but I had just finished training with the dog team (RCSD) and was less than 30 minutes from the trailhead. K-9 Denali and I arrived at the Seven Pines trail as Rescue 9 arrived at the subject. Rescue 9 performed a hoist without issue and flew the subject to Keenwild Ranger Station.
