Missing Hiker In Henry Coe

Today BAMRU was called to a search in Henry Coe State Park near Gilroy. The missing hiker was on a 26 mile loop trail yesterday with a group, when they became separated.  The Mercury News published an article on the incident.

At the search, one BAMRU team received an assignment to be helicoptered in to a ridge-top, then to hike a steep ravine. The other team was to take a 4x4 road deep into the park then focus efforts on covering hiking trails.

The hiker was located as we were deploying into the field - dehydrated and a bit shaken, but alive and well.
