Yuma area SAR service

For those folks who ride off road around the Yuma area, both AZ and CA, there has been a change in the USMC plans to divest itself of the SAR service they provide. Originally it was supposed to be shut down as of this July, but they have extended the service to the community till 7/2017.

Their service saved the life of a good friend last year, when he went over a 50'- 60' cliff on his ATV.

    I did SAR as a volunteer for 12 years in Lane County (Oregon).Also; Ski Patrol in the backcountry for 15 years more at Crater Lake.
    In most states the county sheriff is responsible for SAR.

    You are very lucky to have the USMC doing SAR. They have a bigger wallet for the expensive toys to assist them in finding and rescuing lost personal.
