On Friday (March 24), Curry County Search and Rescue got a call from a concerned citizen that a friend of his, who lives in an RV up on Iron Mountain, had not been heard from for almost two months.

The citizen said he normally goes up once a month to pick up his friend, take him to town for supplies, and then take him back to his RV.

The concerned citizen said he had not been able to drive to his friend’s location due to the heavy snow and was worried that he did not have enough supplies to last him or could get down off the mountain if he needed to do so.

A Curry County Sergeant and two SAR members responded to the area with the Sheriff’s Sno-Cat.

After cutting out several large trees from the snow covered roadway and traveling about ten miles in the snow, they reached the location where the 53-three-year-old man was staying in his RV.

The man declined any assistance, saying he and his dog were fine and had enough supplies to last him until he could get back down the mountain, the Sheriff's Office said.

The SAR members gave him some extra supplies they had with them and returned to Gold Beach.
