It was déjà vu for Park County Search and Rescue, as helicopters and snowmobile volunteers were needed in a rescue operation that should never have happened.
The call came into the Park County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Center at 11 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 24. Eight snowmobilers, a group of people from Minnesota and Wisconsin, left Cooke City, Montana for an excursion into the Beartooth Mountains and had yet to return.
Park County Search and Rescue immediately mobilized, enlisting the assistance of the Cody Country Snowmobile Association. There was only one problem: they didn’t know where to go.
