We're at the Ansa trailhead right now.
00:02
Just look at the conditions, we should be able to potentially make access with some rough four wheeling drive up to the bottom of 41.
00:11
Notice thinking that if we just go in by foot and have you as knee up potentially at the bottom, if we find them, I just want to...
00:18
If we should bring the pickup truck over there, or should we just walk in?
00:25
If you guys can make it across, I'm almost at the bottom right now.
00:28
I can come swing over there and get you.
00:35

01:11
So we'll walk in by foot and if we find anything, I'll let you know.
01:17

02:09
They're going to start walking up as well.
02:10
I'm parked at the bottom of 41, so I'll see what you get here.
02:17
We just made it to the top where the bench is at,
02:20
and nobody's up here.
02:22
I don't see no lights or hear anybody calling up.
02:28
Copy. We can probably just continue up 41.
02:30
What do you think?
02:36
Yeah, it's kind of a hump up here.
02:40
The UTV cannot make it up here.
02:42
So we'll walk a little bit more and see if we see anything.
02:50
Anderson,
02:52
can you see where both no one and I have flashing our lights back there on the trail? Looks like at least a flashlight.
02:57
Is that one of our personnel or such someone else?
03:01
I'm not sure.
03:05
There are a couple hikers as well too, so it might be one of them.
03:11
Marry, Battalion, 4617, will be available East Zone 5, City, Halster.
03:21

03:34
Hey (name withheld), no, is that you right there?
03:37
Just to the left, heading towards 568.
03:43
Can you see us on top of the hill?
03:51
(name withheld), what's your 20?
03:57
If (name withheld) and I started up Trail 40, we're a question, started up Goat Road from where Anderson was parked last.
04:04
We're about a quarter of the way up currently.
04:09
Okay,
04:10
where we're at, we can see a couple of headlamps.
04:13
You're probably be walking up on them within the next couple minutes,
04:18
because that's him.
04:23
Yeah, Cat Detail says RPC's light says that they're on the wrong side of the pond from them.
04:28
He's flashing his light at them.
04:29
The green beacon for a second no longer can see lights.
04:32
So if you guys are able to holler up too, but I try to get some voice contact.
04:37
Hey (name withheld), is that you right there to the school department?
04:42
We are both currently stopped.
04:44
Say that again?
04:50
Because no, if someone's y'all party compartment and they're walking towards us, ask them, tell them to go around and clear.
04:59
Negative, that was not us.
05:01
We did see one flashing light on the opposite side of the pond.
05:05
It looks like he was, uh, stand by.
05:08
Yeah, keep the mind palms out here, too.
05:15
I was saying that the road across the pond from us right now was Jacks.
05:19
And if they keep going in the same direction they were headed, they'll most likely end up at Anderson's rig at the next five.
05:31
6011-5-1-5-1 command.
05:35
Okay, Redd.
05:40
Yeah, where did you guys enter the trail from?
05:45
Hey, Jesse.
05:51
Well Road, closer to Tora Park.
05:54
There's a little knee trail that cut into 41.
05:59
Half of us went left, half of us went right.
06:03
Copy, I've got four on foot as well, so let me know if you run into them.
06:09
Jesse, go ahead.
06:12
Yeah, I'm working myself north from our entrance back to Jackson.
06:19
We just met up with Palm and we're clear on both our directions that we traveled.
06:24
They came up at the goat and we're traveling down goat.
06:27
So they're heading back up, I'm assuming, towards your area towards the end of goat.
06:33
We're going to say medical north down, left stop, Bradley, right stop.
06:43
I copy. So,
06:46
note basically from where it started up where we were to hear is a pretty long trail and just want to confirm that we're covering all points of it.
06:59
The medication 5517, I'll copy call back.
07:03
Everything's all right. No reset.
07:05
40 medical at the northbound Bradley Rustoff.
07:16
5517 copies a copy that were requested to cancel what was the second part?
07:22
Yeah we came off of 41 off the road when you were going down the hill.
07:28
We'll wait for the cyclist and we're going to travel up the sisters and down 41 to see if they see anything.
07:35
But like I said, we had a visual with Palm and made voice contact with them and they saw nothing from their side and there's nothing on our side.
