Usually one due to being lost and normally one due to injury.
One Ranger who I became friendly with adds..They usually end well but there is still a guy hiking out there since this time last yr.
I was like.. ouch.. just no way to find him?
Nope not on foot or helicopter.
I asked what about Drones.
He said well their illegal over a national park even by the staff themselves.
But that all changes November 16th Joshua state park is allowed to use a highly advanced drone to search and rescue.
First mission and the reason this was pushed for was this guy lost in the park.
I said..well there is obviously no heat signature and I'm guessing he past in the shade of trees or under boulders.
He said the tech is hard to explain but they were at an information meeting..
Somehow this drone will be able to see this guys skeleton.
But the trick obviously is flying close to over the body.
It could take a little bit of time.
