62-year-old Duane Cummins of Madras became disoriented while out scouting for deer between Todd Lake and Happy Valley. He had a radio to stay in contact with his son for a short time. Deschutes County Search and Rescue mobilized when the son lost contact. Around 10 pm the Deschutes County Dispatch Center received a call from the old Skyliner's ski lodge, reporting that Cummins had shown up there and was being driven into Bend. S-A-R intercepted the car and took Cummins back to his camp. Cummins was cold, wet and tired but otherwise all right. Upon debriefing ...Cummins did a number of good things. He kept his head, took a radio and had a plan that he shared with his son. When asked what he would do differently Cummins says he would take a GPS unit, a small pack with basic essentials like high energy food and water, a means to start a fireand he would avoid wearing all cotton clothing.
