Skamania County SAR Has Busy Weekend

It was a busy weekend for Skamania County Search and Rescue crews.  On Saturday evening, the Volcano Rescue Team helped bring a 53-year-old woman from Dallas, Texas who had sustained a possible broken ankle down from a trail on Mt. St. Helens.  On Sunday morning, a critically injured climber at Big Creek Falls was brought back to the top of the falls by ropes, taken to the Pine Creek Ranger Station, and then transported by LifeFlight to a Portland hospital.  Undersheriff Pat Bond had no update on the condition of the 72-year-old man from Washougal.  And on Sunday afternoon a 56-year-old Port Orchard woman who had been reported overdue to return from picking mushrooms in the Willard area was located and found to be healthy.
