On July 17, 2004 five members of the San Gorgonio Search and Rescue Team were enroute to assist in a search in Joshua Tree National Park when a horrific traffic accident occurred on State Route 62. Please visit San Gorgonio SAR's website to read a fitting memorial for Scott and Phil.

Larry Reinhart from San Gorgonio SAR recently shared a UTM reader that is useful for the popular Tom Harrison 1:4750 maps. As with the other readers, I recommend printing on overhead transparency media then laminating them. 

As mentioned at the last IESARC meeting, please send any forms or other tools that you find helpful in your SAR efforts. I post them in the "Documents" section of the website.

Larry has updated the file to contain readers for most of the popular map scales in this series of maps. The file now contains readers for the San Jacinto, Angeles, Baldy, and Whitney regions in addition to the San Gorgonio region.
