Snow Hiking (Volunteer) 1:12:00 [3]
shoes: Inov OROC 340
Guess what, Patti and I volunteered in a search group for 2 missing girls at the park. A mother & a small son came to me and asked if we have see her 2 daughters at age 9 & 11. We didn't see them. And luckily, the rangers drove by and we immediately form a search group of 6. We all went separate trails. Patti and I meet each others at the end of our routes. We asked 2 couples if they see them. One have saw about half hour ago. So, we waited for rangers to meet us but the 2 girls walked by. We gave them a note from their mother to go with us. They were little reluctant at first. We take our time to walk them back to the front gate with our o' map. We asked the gate man to call the rangers where we are. Our smartphones have no coverage and can't text, ugh. They have been separated for over 2 hours. When mother & father arrived, it brings Patti in tears to see them reunited & crying together. They thanked & hugged us. Oh, the lady ranger were emotional, too. Whew, glad we found them at 4pm before dark.
