Last Minute Details Of The Search...

This effort has grown into something that I never imagined, and I want to be sure that each and every person is on the same page.

When you arrive at 2911 Byrd Road please follow the arrowed signs for parking and park where directed to do so.

Coming in from 113, once you past the dump, you will cross a small stream, and see folk art signs that say 'Duck Crossing'.

Directly past the stream you will see an handmand arrow sign pointing to the right, and it is just past this arrow that you will take a left turning into the field where you will park. The area set aside for parking is quite high in elevation and there shouldn't be any trouble with anyone getting stuck.

If you come to the driveway that says 2911 you have gone too far and you will have to turn around and enter from designated area, as we need to keep the driveway open for the residents and emergency vehicles.

Once you have parked, you must come to the tented area and register to participate.
Even if you don't want to actually search and would just like to help out, you will be required to sign an indemnification form and register as a guest/volunteer.

Everyone who participates in the search will be required to sign an indemnification form on site.
Everyone who participates in the search will be required to fill out and sign a medical condition form.

Everyone who participates in the search will be required to show proof of Identification and their license or ID #s will be recorded.

Everyone will be given a pin or sticker for their shirt or jacket identifying them as a participant, and we ask that you keep that on all day NO ONE will be allowed to progress to the search site until they have met these requirements.

Additionally, we must keep in mind that both of the homes on the property are occupied and that we are GUESTS on their property so we don't want to wander off of the lane or designated search area, and do any independent searching.

The public staging area will be on the parking area side of the driveway of the homes, and it is requested that all volunteers stay in the public staging area until you are escorted to the Search Team Area where you will be debriefed and given specific instructions on proper procedures for the search. Once assigned to a Search Team you will be required to stay with that Team for the duration of the search.

Please understand that while all of this sounds very rigid, it is a very serious undertaking not to be taken lightly, and it is necessary for everyone's protection and security that these measures must be exercised.

Tomorrow is due to be a beautiful but cool day, so be sure to dress in layers, and I am looking forward to finally meeting each and everyone of you in person.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and tonight before we rest, lets all asks that Gods Grace to be on this search tomorrow.
