This evening we heard a helicopter flying over our home. After noticing it had been sticking around a little too long we went out to take a look. After heading in the direction of where they were flying a neighbor stopped me and filled me in, one of our neighbors had become disoriented and lost in the woods.
The Delmar Fire Department showed up and everyone took a different area to search and we all started heading into the woods. Now mind you Folks, there's a LOT of woods out this way.
Being the shortest day of the year, it wasn't looking too good. None of us had flashlights. We kind of just showed up not really knowing what was going on. As the search crews were calling her name, someone finally said, I FOUND HER.
Another neighbor had his Gator type of vehicle and quickly pulled up to load her into the bed and take her over to the rescue vehicles. As you can see from the picture, this was as we were coming out of the woods and there was just no light left.
Thank You Delmar Fire Department, Delaware State Police AND our friendly neighbors. A job well done and none too soon.

I know that woods like the back of my hand.
Glad she is ok. Didnt know what was up.
Was starting to wonder if one of them had made good on the threats. I dont mean that in a bad way, a funny way.
Thank you!!! We do have some great neighbors (:
Glad to hear this had a happy ending. I too saw the copter and feared there had more home break-ins like those west of Laurel this week.
