Four Hikers Rescued After Two Days in Wilderness

Four overnight hikers were in the wilderness area of Switzer Falls for two days when they were found Monday morning - they had been scheduled to return on Sunday.

Four hikers were located by local search and rescue teams around 11:30 a.m. Monday south of Switzer Falls after a search that began on Sunday night.

The four hikers left on Saturday morning for an overnight trip and had been expected to return by Sunday evening, according to Lt. Angela Shepherd of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

When they did not arrive, the department was notified and a search for the hikers began.

The search included locals from Montrose Search and Rescue and San Dimas Search and Rescue, Shepherd said.

The hikers were found uninjured, but were unsure of how to get out of the wilderness area.  The search and rescue teams walked them out, Shepherd said.

Thank you so much. I definitely should not have been wearing it... it has been loose for a coupleRead More of years now. I'm hoping that it is on my property otherwise I am at the grace of good honest people... Thank you for your suggestions and I have filed a lost property report and I will definitely call the local pawn shops. Keeping it in perspective and at the end of the day it is just an object, but I'm definitely hoping that it finds its way back.

I can well empathsize with your loss. First thing, can you remember taking it off anywhere? DidRead More you wash your hands anywhere, soap makes fingers slippery. Did it fit well or was it a little loose? Running makes the arms swing. Strange as it may seem, it may still be in or on your own property. There are still honest people, call the desk of every business you went to. Also, call every pawn shop in your area and report. Good luck. If its any comfort, I found a diamond studded tie tack when I gazed at the soil in my garden and saw it. Keep us posted. b

I feel bad that teachers are having to pull money out of their own pockets, I wonder whateverRead More happened to the lottery money that was supposed to go to schools? I am a volunteer for an organization that offers free drug education kits to any teacher with booklets on the various harmful drugs . Educators play a vital role for our children and in society and should be supported in any way possible. Any who might be interested, e-mail me at tbadger2000@yahoo.com.
