Daddy went on a Search

Daddy is a member of the Lethbridge Area Search and Rescue. It is group that is completely volunteers, that are trained to search and rescue people who are lost, or search for evidence in an specific area.

He has searched for lost person in a snowstorm, looked for someone who disappeared from the Lethbridge University, a knife from a stabbing, and person that disappeared from her home.

Yesterday he went on a search for a person that disappeared 7 years ago. Someone had stumbled on a old camp that had ID from this person, and hunting guns registered to this person. Basically Lethbridge, and Pincher Creek Search and Recuse were working with the police to find anything that was not supposed to be in the wilderness (camping foamy, bear spray, or any bones that were not animal).

Daddy came home very tired, and had walked many kilometers through very dense brush, up the ridge, and back down, several times. They are not allowed to discuss much, but it was a very old camp site, and is some areas had several inches of debris (dead leaves, pine needles) covering the area.

Dad came home tired, but happy to be using his skills!
