wonder how long it took spearfish search and rescue to get there. last year had a guy break his leg with us and it took at least 2 hours to get there, and we were parked on tinton road, then only one of there sleds would run. lil disapointing when you got someone going into shock and there femur is broken.
Well diggler when riding the hills you should be aware that there is no emergency help around this area within a 30 mile range so one should be prepared when going out with first aid essentials. I am from newcastle, wy and used to be an emt on the local ambulance, it would take us at least 45min to an hour from time page went out to time we arrived at trailshead. Then we would have to unload sled and rescue cart and head in could easily be 2 hours by the time we reach patient. I am sure it would be a bit longer from spearfish as they have to go through canyon and with bad roads who knows. The point is rescue personel will arrive as soon as possible and give the best care to the patient as they can.. So please don't be dogging on the local search and rescue they do there job and do it very well in my opinion.

That guy wasn't riding a red Yamaha by chance was he? We came across a sled/tree accident after the rider had been transported, sled was mangled.
We came up on it after the group had left to transport the guy to a hospital or ambulance. We sat around and gave the kids a quick reality check on what can happen if you get too complacent out there. A couple guys showed up while we were there, one was his son and he was pretty shook up about the deal, we helped them get the sled hooked up to tow and they went on their way.
