Hi Kate,
There’s a group of people heading out on the trails here around silver Peak.
Would you be willing to post a photo of Rio and ask people who are checking your website and who might be going out to keep an eye out for him.
Rio is 5’7”, dark hair, he just chopped off his pony tail.
He has no water or food or sleeping bag. He’s spent the night out there last night.
Thank you so much!!!
David Sleeth (Rio’s Dad)_

He was hiking with no water or snacks? That’s odd. I hope he’s okay
Oh no! Any updates? We'll share on IG, hoping for a happy ending.....
Not yet, I don’t expect anything until later this afternoon, when people get back from searching.
FOUND IN SALMON CREEK!
Great news! I once came across a hiker coming down Willow who started out @ Salmon Crk to do a few mile loop trail (following the map in a book) but it was so overgrown he lost the trail. This was now dusk so I took him back to his car @ Salmon Crk. He then had to drive back home to Santa Barbara, a 3 hour drive!
