Posted on FlashAlert: January 7th, 2014 3:56 AM
At approximately 8:40 pm, the Oregon National Guard helicopter assisting with the search spotted a fire burning in the forest. Search crews reached Gary Tuor and his dog Buddy at about 9:30 pm. He was checked by the ground crews and found to be in good health. Mr. Tuor walked himself out to the trailhead and was brought down to the Command Post.
Mr Tuor arrived at the Command post at about 2:00 am. He was checked by an AMR Reach and Treat Team and was released. He expressed his thanks for the search crews and all the volunteers who assisted in locating him.
Mr. Tuor was able to stay warm through the nights by lighting a fire. Once he realized he was lost he waited in place for search crews to find him. The fire he built served two purposes; it kept him warm and ultimately allowed him to be spotted by the helicopter.
