Douglas County Search and Resuce (DCSAR) spent Saturday doing technical training on the eastern slopes of the Carson Range. Heavenly Mountain Resort allowed the members to ride the Gondola and Tamarack chair before the resort opened to the public so that the training could focus on safely traveling down to the valley, as would be required on a real rescue.
They didn't have to wait long to use their finely tuned skills since they were called out to the resort on Sunday after a skier became lost in the same general area. DCSAR was able to safely locate and rescue the unidentified person.

Friends, family and over 50 Search and Rescue volunteers from five counties are searching for 46-year-old Edward Cavanaugh who was last seen on July 17.
The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office says the Bay Area man was last seen in the Rock Creek area where he was riding his blue Yamaha YZ 250. Cavanaugh parted ways with another rider he had been riding with and said he was going to utilize the trail system to return to a residence he owns in the area. This trail system is in the Georgetown Divide area between the towns of Mosquito and Garden Valley.
