On a very windy and stormy night, Kevin Doty, Mockonema, became lost in the Blue Mountains.

His hunting party realized something had to be done, so Stetson Steiger and Garret Link volunteered to go look for him. Stetson had a GPS, and they knew roughly where Kevin said he was going to hunt.

Armed with flashlights and the GPS unit, they were able to find him in about an hour.
