that the grandson is going to be turning on a light for a tent.
00:04
Okay, and you said that he is in a tent at this time?
00:08
Yes, him and his grandfather are inside a tent.
00:10
His grandfather is now vomiting again as we speak.
00:12
He's got the cold chills, not feeling very well at all.
00:16
Claire, thank you.
00:17

601[2] on 800.
00:21
I do.
00:22
Hey, what's your guys' location here at the park? I've got rescue members and we can't seem to locate you guys.
00:27
Where are you got that? I believe we're at the Salina Lake.
00:29
We just passed the Cangrounds.
00:31
So after you pass the toll booth and you turned left into Salina Lake?
00:36
To permit where we're at.
00:38
We don't see nobody. Okay, we're cleared back to the Indian Lake MoRamp.
00:41
We'll come back up to the Salina Campground.
00:43
601[2] Town City.
00:44
Go ahead, Hill City.
00:45
When you turn left off of 37 onto Indian Salina Lake Road, you're going to go past the tow booth.
00:54
Stay straight. on that road all the way back until you get to the very end.
00:58
I think it's going to be like a little turnaround of pavement access there to where it's a big paved area, to where you can go down there and turn around and go back if you want.
01:08
They're going to be direct. They're going to be approximately maybe four to five miles straight in the woods past that.
01:15
They're going to have their flashlight on.
01:16
He's going to be blinking his light right now to where you guys can see him.
01:21
We try to call DNR as well, still negative contact, trying to get a hold of someone that can come out there and help you guys out on a four-wheeler side-by-side-by-side something.
01:34
Okay, we've got four-wheelers and side-on-sides here.
01:37
We're trying to link up with DMS right now and get with them.
01:41
We've already went clear back to...
01:44
to the Indian Lake boat ramp of right now we're just trying to find EMS so we can get with them and start in.
01:52
Okay, like I said, I'm not for sure where EMS is at.
01:54
I did send them a picture of my think map to where they could see where they need to go, to where they're at.
02:02
And like I said, if you stay straight all the way back from 37,
02:05
There's going to be like a trail on the right that you could go on.
02:09
I don't think they're, as far as I can see, they're not on any trail.
02:12
I think they got lost off the trail is what's going on here.
02:15
But there should be a big part of a pavement that is like a turnaround, a roundabout, something like that in that area.
02:22
So where, anyway, they're going to be straight, straight out from that four to five, maybe six miles.
02:28
clear. Can you send, if you have a ping, could you send that to my...
02:33
And who am I sending this to?
02:34

02:56

02:59
Just for your 1043[1], there is no water that I can see from my think map where they're at.
03:03
They're not at no vote ramp.
03:04
They're all the way in the very back as far as you can go on Indian Lake Access Road.
03:09
