Back
Country Medics called to check on
When two
Back Country Medics launched early Monday morning to check
in the upper parts of
North Fork District Ranger Doug Gober said that the two
were out on the first trip of the season with stock. When no radio contact could
be made, the decision was to call Back Country Medics due to the remoteness of
the area and the time it would take to transport anyone by ground if there had
been injuries.
Fortunately, when the staff members were found, they were
okay. There had just communication problems. Gober said that they are
investigating other communication devices so that there is not a replay in the
future.
