RMRU write-up of rescue is here.
On New Year’s eve RMRU was called out to search for a hiker missing overnight in rain and snow storm east of Toro Peak in the area of Horsethief Creek. Two field teams (Les Walker, Ralph Hoetger, Lee Arnson, and Helene Lohr) spent most the night out in difficult conditions searching for the lost man. About 10 p.m. a CHP helicopter spotted the hiker, but could not effect a rescue.
