Searches

A four year went missing and we were called to do an urban search near the Clackamas Town Center. It turns out that the child was with a grandparent so the search was cancelled..  (Whew !)

We were called to Multnomah County to assist in the search for the last of seven hikers lost near Multnomah Falls. The last subject was located within 10 minutes of getting the call..  Again, cancelled.... 

We were called to evacuate an injured equestrain near Howard's Mill in Mulino. The ambulance crew was able to get to her so we were cancelled.

We were called to assist in Wasco County in the search for two seven year olds and one twelve year old. Twelve PNW members participated in this search and all subjects were found safe and sound.. Thanks to all that made the trip. Wasco County appreciated our help.

We had a missing hiker on the Timberline trail. He found himself before we arrived... :-)  Cancelled..

We were activated to find a missing male somewhere up on Hunchback ridge. Four teams were deployed from different access points to find the subject which was in cell phone contact with CCSO. Mountain Wave did a great job of triangulating a tentative location from cell phone pings and team two was able to locate the subject. A litter team was on standby while the suject was hydrated by AMR.

We were called to find overdue hikers on the Timberline trail.. Subjects walked out while we were enroute. Cancelled.

We were called on day three of a search in Marion County to look for a missing male. Most of the team focused on grid searching various areas with no clues found. One lucky guy (me) got to join CCSO on quads to clear logging roads. The subject walked out on his own the following day despite a large number of searchers in the area.  

We were on standby for two missing hikers in the gorge. Turns out that the hikers didn't know they were missing.. Called off.

We were put on standby (pending verification) for four individuals overdue from a trip to Bagby Hot Springs. CCSO met them on the road coming from Bagby and it turns out they had gotten lost on their way in that morning and so they had stayed longer than expected once they found it.  Cancelled.
