If you're still on the line with that party, just advise him I'm going to come in from county road down by Crippel Creek the entrance to the state forest and I'll try and run until I'm there.
00:14
B1 to 252. Stand by.
00:16
I'm on the phone with County Dispatch.
00:17
They're the ones that are in contact with him.
00:25
Oh, here, sir.
00:26
Just had a EPO go by me.
00:29
I'm gonna see if I can talk with him if he's possibly right.
00:37
Received. Just be advised, he is back to County Road and he's not injured.
00:43
He just had some trouble making his way back out to his vehicle.
00:48
Is it best to go in through County Road or should I go West Branch?
00:57
He parked at the intersection of West Branch and County, so I guess it would be best for you to go in West Branch Road.
01:05
At the intersection of West Branch and County,
01:08
I believe that section of County Road is gated off.
01:12
So he might have parked right at the gate there, which is very common for hikers up there.
01:18
How cares you?
01:21
252 to B1. I can get in through West Branch.
01:24
If not, I get one of the EPOs with me with a pickup truck.
01:30
Affirmative.
01:31
You should be able to make it all the way in.
01:33
Here you see.

The Ramele party was walking south in the northbound breakdown lane from Exa 4 to exit 3.
02:14
He hopped off 63.
02:16
I'll try and go back and make contact, but it'll be 17th from here.
02:22
B1 to 252. Three, Mr.
02:25
152.
02:26
252.
02:28
252.
02:33
So I've just got up through with County Dispatch.
02:36
If you take West Branch Road in from Washington Mountain Road, you'll come to the four corners intersection.
02:43
There's a problem with the maps that are being utilized.
02:47
At that four-corner intersection,
02:50
the intersecting road is identified as Lenox Whitney Place Road, but on some maps it's also identified as county road.
02:57
So if you travel west on West Branch Road,
03:01
to the four-corneres intersection and take a left,
03:05
you should run into that party.
03:06
He's walking north on Lennox Whitney Place Road,
03:10
aka County Road.
03:12
You should also encounter his vehicle at the four-corner intersection of West Branch Road and Lenox Whitney Place Road.
03:20
How cares you? I get E.P.O.
03:23
Kelleher with me and his vehicle.
03:26
I'll advise when we get there.
