Picacho del Diablo hiking party missing/overdue [FOUND!]
More info to come...
I have multiple communications from last night and this morning regarding a 3-person hiking party that was due back in San Diego on Sunday from a hike
to Picacho del Diablo. Missing are Morgan Fox and his two daughters. Morgan is diabetic.
From the inbox last night:
"My cousin and his (2) daughters are missing. They were to return Sunday from a hike on Devils Peak. Search starts tomorrow early we hope they are
found quickly. My cousin loves this park and has hiked it for years. Its very remote and no other hikers ckd to hike so they are alone. We are worried
no contact since Tuesday last week, and due home Sunday."
And a follow-up this morning:
"I just called the civil protection and Carlos comes in at 7. The gentleman I spoke with said they have had 2 teams searching since 1 am. Not sure how
many in the team. Angie the friend that knows the trail is great. Since they are most likely still on the trail. It's a couple day hike but someone
without a heavy backpack should be able to get thru quicker. Anyone that goes out needs to bring honey/ sugar. That can be squirted or rubbed on the
gums. Or IV's"

I'm seeing there's a thread on this at Talk Baja as well:

108 at 9000 feet. Are you sure? I think this about people on top of Sierra San Pedro Martir.

Hope this ends well for everyone.
FWIW - a number of years ago (only first 3 miles of road were paved) the wife and I were in SQ and it was 103 - Porky Pig said it was the hottest ever
seen in 50 years there. We drove up to SPM and it was 72. I left a small bowl of water out overnight and it froze.
Sending positive vibes to the Fox family.

Hikers Found!
Great news. I just got word that a Mex military helo just spotted the group alive. No further details at the moment.
Great effort by Mex proteccion civil, military SAR, and volunteers. Continued success in getting them out.

Glad they got found.
The location on the GE screen shot via FB page shows they were photographed on the ridgeline route between blue bottle pass and south peak of Diablo,
not on the standard class 4 route that goes via campo noche. They are west of the hard part, so maybe on way out after being delayed by some
adventure on the peak?
Hope we get the story, but sometimes people clam up after being the subject of public news..

Either way, the conjecture and speculation here will be entertaining for a minute. Glad they're safe!

Ground SAR is approximately 2 hours hike in from them, then 2 hours for the hike out (atleast).
Hats off to the SAR teams!
