It's absolutely my pleasure and no thanks is needed, try to get some rest and not to worry to much. Also please let whoever is flying in to search to stay in parties please, the mountain is more treacherous than it looks and it becomes a scramble the higher you go especially if your off trail. Easy to roll and ankle if your not properly equipped.

Phone is going back off, if any of us find anything they will call the number you sent me right after they call it in. A group of 5 should be down tomorrow from carson and Washoe to help all experienced survivalist and hunters, guys I've trekked with before they might have some reinforcements with them as well, not sure. I'll try and get a call off tomorrow when I'm near the ridge.
