Log number: 88-100
Date/time of incident: 6/12        Date/time received: 6/13
Park: Joshua Tree       Location: Pinto Basin
Reported by: Herb Gercke, RAD, WRO

Summary:
Two 21-year-old Marines from the Marine base at Twenty-Nine Palms were
exploring an area outside the park on three-wheel vehicles with some friends
on Saturday, June 11th, when they became separated from the group and
strayed into Pinto Basin. Their vehicles ran out of gas, so they attempted
to walk out to safety. The two were dressed in tank tops and snorts and had
no water with them; temperatures in the shade reached 105 degrees, and the
ground temperature was above 130 degrees. Their companions reported the two
overdue on Sunday, and the park immediately initiated a major search,
employing ground searchers, helicopters and dog tracking teams. At 1 a.m.
on Monday, a Joshua Tree tracking team found the two men. They are
currently being treated in the base hospital for dehydration and
hypothermia.
