They located the guy, sounded like he was fine. They found him at Hell Hole Reservoir. I believe the Jeep Jamboree is this weekend so they have been prepping the trail.

Yeah saw that... interesting to see what his path was...Hell Bound Lake is north and west of Loon Lake. How he wandered all over the place and missed finding a crowded, noisy trail is beyond me. He must have gone north into some of the country above Rubicon Springs and then headed west. Who knows. Glad he's alive.
Most of the Search and Rescue folks I met were in body hunt mode. Been on enough of em to know. I warned several of them that trail volunteers are tough bastards. We walk long, hard, hot miles carrying obscene weight. I've had 80 year old trail volunteers walk me into the ground.

What is odd about this from what I read and heard on a local podcast here in Sac is he was very familiar with the area and has been up there several times over the years. So just odd overall. I think the article in the local news said he was in a hole so maybe he slipped or something.
You all may have come across the club I am in, Hi-Landers. They were supposed to be camping at Rubicon Springs this last weekend.

Great video. Thank you for sharing it. Too bad the other Chris didn’t make it, I wasn’t aware of that.
I can only imagine, but how many hours to edit that video
You got like a lot a lot of video
I am not sure what I was doing that day, but I am about 60-75 minutes from Pollock Pines and maybe could have come up to help him out.
Had a seized caliper in Pollock Pines or there abouts. Was a journey to get that fixed. Then after getting that squared away, he was fueling up and his fuel tank had a split due to an exhaust malfunction 
His wife came and got him with a trailer I think.

I was thinking the caliper was before that the gas tank issue was in Pollock Pines. Either way was fairly close and just depends on what I was in the middle of doing, may have been able to help.
Nice video Mac. Takes me back to the Rubicon run @Alex01 and I did last year. Also, I love your community service vibe. Trash sucks.
Ask him how many zip ties he picked up
That man is constantly picking up all things trash.
Yeah I didn't make it caliper seized up a little less than halfway and then in pollock pines my exhaust melted a small hole in the tank. My wife came with the truck and flat tow bar setup.

I'd like to say all of them. Probably an average of a chunk of cable tie every 100'.
