EDSAR team members joined members from Calaveras SAR to assist in a multi-agency investigation. The process went smoothly and was well-executed.
Distances logged on foot did lead to some sore body parts.
As the exercise proceeded, Calaveras SO was advised about a missing 3 yr old and family dog, in another part of the county. Calaveras SAR members diverted to this SAR, joined by some of our EDSAR members.
Deputy Crawford reported that the child and dog were found 3-4 miles away from the PLS, good condition.
This is a venue for El Dorado SAR members to provide fill-in information and first-hand accounts of specific previous searches. After SAR302 posts the first item about a recent search, any SAR member is invited to add their comments/observations/feelings/experience as it relates to said search. The postings are then edited and posted to the ESARC website (edsar.org) for public viewing.

Weather was cool, company was great, and I was impressed with how far a 3 yr. old would wander in an hour.

A 3-year-old girl wandered away from her home in Rail Road Flat last Saturday, but was found unharmed a few hours later, miles from where she started.
A helicopter on loan from the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department alerted residents through a public address microphone to be on the lookout for the girl as the search-and-rescue operation was mounted. Trackers and three dogs were employed in the search.
