Lost Hiker Rescued by Helicopter Along the Mendonoma Coast

Yesterday afternoon, help came from the sky for a lost hiker along the South Fork of the Gualala River.

A Facebook post from the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office reported the agency’s Henry-1 helicopter was dispatched to the area of Sea Ranch where a hiker had reportedly been “separated from the group he was hiking with and and had been missing for several hours.”

The flight crew conducted what was described as an “extensive search” and located the hiker along the rural waterway.

Henry 1 found a nearby landing zone, a tactical flight officer took off on foot and accompanied the lost hiker back to the helicopter.

I like to think of myself as a reporter for the Average Joe. Journalism has become a craft defined largely by city dwellers on America's coasts. It’s time to take it back. I have been an Emerald Triangle resident since 2006 and this is year ten in Mendocino County. Please, email me at matthewplafever@gmail.com if you know a story that needs to be told.
