I got a call from a Douglas County Sheriff about a stuck RZR, with 4 occupants. 10 miles from Rainbow Falls parking lot. The Sheriff couldn’t get to them and had called search and rescue.
I was on the mountain and was about 12 miles from them. When I arrived at the trail they were on, I met the 4 occupants, and loaded them in the Gladiator to drive back down the 3 miles they had just walked, to retrieve the vehicle.
I notified the sheriff that I had found them and was headed to get the RZR. He confirmed that he would cancel search and rescue now that I was there.
Customers said they were stuck in 3 foot of snow and had been digging for an hour to get it out when they decided to walk out and call 911.
They were very happy I showed up to pick them up and was able to get their vehicle back to their truck and trailer.
Please don’t go out alone without proper equipment and know how to get yourself out. It’s always safer to go with a buddy.
It’s nice knowing the Sheriff’s Dept and Search and Rescue trusts you to get the job done.
