We worked with some Grant County SAR people on a rescue near the VLA site in October of 1996.

Mike Coburn is passed down a ravine in this practice litter carry in the
San Mateo Mountains, then "posed" for a group picture.>
Crash had sinus problems during the litter carry practice, and was not a
happy person.
Sometimes we lead midnight tours up the nearby Magdalena Mountains.
Once at the top, we have breakfast as the sun rises.
The Border Patrol is always helpful to us on searches, providing
helicopter support and manpower.
We hold some of our technical training at Box Canyon.
The searchers saw this moon, but the poor fellow that was lost didn't.
We also take people out into the wilderness who might never have been
there before. This particular trip was to the Cat Walk in the Gila
National Forest.
We went on a mine rescue once, when some students were trapped in an
abandoned mine shaft.

Holly Hughes and Mike Coburn look over a map on a practice search in the
San Mateo mountains.
A plane hit a fence on takeoff, and the pilot abandoned it without
turning of the emergency beacon. Soon, State Police, Socorro SAR, and
North Catron County SAR converged on the area to find an empty plane and
no emergency.

Some people have never seen how we mark trails in New Mexico. This is
the most common trail blaze you will see.
This is what a really good footprint looks like. You will probably
never find one of these on a search.
This is the new rack we got for technical work in fall 1997.
