On Wednesday evening, several Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue volunteers responded to the area of Sutton Creek, north of Florence, to assist two lost hikers. Though prepared for the weather, the hikers were not prepared to hike after dark or stay out overnight. SAR located them and guided them on an hour hike back to their vehicle.    
  
Follow these tips to stay safe as you explore the outdoors:   
  
⛰️Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.   
  
🌨️ Know conditions before you leave - rain in the valley can mean ice up high!   
  
⛺ Be prepared to stay out overnight - even if you don't plan to get out of your car.   
  
🗺️ Bring maps for offline navigation - cell service can be spotty!   
  
🌊 If you go on the water, ALWAYS wear a life jacket!   
  
🛑 If you become lost, STAY PUT! Find a way to signal or make your location visible. Always carry a whistle and flashlight in the outdoors – it just might save your life.   
  
Nearly every week, Lane County Sheriff's Search & Rescue deputies and volunteers assist our residents and visitors in all types of environments.
