Search For Runner Missing In The Sierra Foothills
FORESTHILL (CBS13) ―
Dozens of sheriff's deputies and volunteers are searching for a
missing man who spent the night in near-freezing temperatures in the Sierra.
Investigators say 40-year-old Daniel Rose was on a training run in the
Foresthill area Sunday when he became separated from his
group.
Sheriff's deputies sent out crews in four-wheel drive
vehicles as well as quad's to search for Rose.
Several
helicopters were being used yesterday and are expected to be back in the
air later this morning.
They say he's an accomplished runner but has not
been seen since early yesterday.
And with temperatures dropping down
into the low 30's overnight hypothermia is a major concern.
"We're
extremely concerned due to the elements," Lt. Tornberg of the Placer County
Sheriff's Dept. told CBS13, "The gentleman from what we understand was in
running shorts and he had a running shirt on and a jacket. I he
was physically in good shape. But being in physically good shape and
being able to stand up to the conditions he's facing out there right now is
going to be extremely difficult."
Deputies say there are a
number of intersecting trails in the area and someone not familiar with the
route could easily get lost.
"It is not
the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to
the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and
blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because
there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive
to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends
himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who
neither know victory nor defeat."
