Rescue at Hwy 49 Near confluence of American River

Most recently we worked all last night and part of this morning searching for a male in his 40's lost in the American River Canyon north of Cool. As a result, this morning rescuers not only found the lost subject but an unexpected bonus - his separated hiking buddy whom no one had realized was missing.
