The helicopter was able to hover over the area and lower down a member of the Corvallis Mountain Rescue Team to look for anyone on the ground. They were able to confirm both men were sitting next to a fire they made to signal search and rescue teams. The helicopter crew hoisted both men, one at a time out to a nearby forest road where a search and rescue personnel were waiting.
They were escorted quickly to Lyons Ambulance personnel that evaluated their condition. Both declined medical transport and did not have any injuries despite being in the wilderness overnight. They were reunited with family members near the Command Post in the city of Detroit.

We want everyone in Marion County to have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend, so please, if you are going to be drinking, plan ahead and designate a sober driver.
