Two tourists were lost on the Mumford Bar Trailhead trail in the Placer California Function. The rescue operation was captured on the recording.
Tourists got lost on the trail on Friday, May 16 in the afternoon. According to the Sheriff's Office of the Placer, the wanderers ended with food, so they decided to call for help. They had GPS devices and charged mobile phones, so they could send an SMS with a request for rescue.
