INCIDENTS

92-630 - Lake Mead (Nevada) - Search

On Wednesday, November 25th, park visitors found 19-year-old C.N., a
local resident, wandering around without food or water and in an advanced
stage of hypothermia.  C.N., who was wearing chaps and tennis shoes with
spurs, told rangers that he and a companion had been on a horse trip from
Katherine to Hoover Dam, a distance of about 60 miles, and that they had
become separated.  Rangers and sheriff's deputies began an air, ground and
water search for C.N.'s companion.  The effort was suspended after two days
when further investigation revealed that C.N. was suffering from mental
confusion and that he had left home on Monday on a solo 60-mile hike without
water or food.  Nighttime temperatures during the period were in the 30s.
