On August 14th, 2009, EDSO OES was notified of a 911 Spot Satellite Messenger msg from the Rubicon Springs area. SAR Coordinators, Deps. Morgan and Cathey initiated events that led to a successful SAR.
The SPOT was registered to an outdoor adventure company in Coloma. The coordinators learned that the individuals at risk in the travel party included an obese forty-something male and a teenager with diabetes.
Working with the USFS, CalStar was dispatched to the beaconed coordinates. The teenager had experienced a diabetic reaction and was airlifted to Barton Memorial Hospital at S. Lake Tahoe.
Several SAR members were ready to head out, but the SAR successfully concluded w/o a volunteer callout.
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.
