The irony that the man was rescued by the department he was trying to prove wrong was not lost on Mariposa County Sheriff Jeremy Briese.
investigators looked for algae-infested water, mines that might emit toxic gas, poisonous vegetation and evidence of lightning strikes before coming to their determination.
After the hiker spoke to the Michigan man on the Hites Cove/Savage Lundy Trail on June 28, they noticed that his rented vehicle was still parked at the trailhead the next morning. They called the sheriff's office to report him as missing shortly after. They said the man was in his 60s and was wearing sweatpants.
It's unclear how long the man was lost and when exactly he was rescued. A spokesperson for sheriff's office did not respond to an SFGATE request for such information. The news release from the sheriff's office said the man entered the area through a gate that was affixed with a"closed" sign, and that he became lost after being unable to find the trail that leads to the Savage Lundy portion of the area.
The release said the man tried to make numerous 9-11 calls after becoming lost, but no calls went through. Deputies say he had two one-gallon jugs of water with him, but during extremely hot days, had to eventually resort to drinking river water. After a search and rescue mission was conducted in coordination with the Fresno County Sheriff's Office — the search involved the use of a helicopter — the man was found along Hites Cove Road.
