GADSAR was called to assist the RCMP, BCAS and the GFD in an investigation of a distress call south of town. GADSAR deployed both a river and ground response to search the high probability areas. After searching the river between Nicholson and Golden with the jet boat and 2 kayakers, and searching the areas immediately adjacent to Reflection Lk, GADSAR was stood down as the group had made their way to Hwy 95. All members of the group were unharmed. Their inflatable raft had lost pressure during their float down the Columbia and the group had become bogged down in the marshy areas along the Columbia River and had become worried about their ability to safely navigate themselves back to dry land. 

Come on out and sit in on the GADSAR Executive Meeting... Coincidentally it is also Independence day!

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.

We will be doing none of those things unfortunately...
