We got one individual. He doesn't know where the other individual went.
02:41

We just got another call that that individual went back into the woods.
03:31
He was at near Sharon Drive.

03:57
I had 65.
04:00
Yeah, damage to the vehicle is minimal.
04:02
They were on a path.
04:03
It looks like they got more stuck than anything versus truly an accident.
04:10
Okay, that individual went back into the woods and he's probably east of you if he went back into the woods up on top.
04:21
We're down with the first individual and he does want to go get checked, so we've got to get this guy out of here.

05:30
He apparently seemed slightly agitated and angry with the caller.
05:34
Apparently he was carrying a ladder and chains, asked for water,
05:40
and I walked back into the woods from near Sharon Drive.

I'd send you to the ping where that's out as well.
