We have a couple who apparently got lost in the Cleveland National Forest, south of me. They were doing Holy Jim Trail and didn't come back. We have some good weather and water shouldn't be to difficult to find. They had some bloodhounds out but they lost eventually the trail. That area is dense chaparral, so if they got off the trail it might be difficult to find them. OTOH chaparral is full of resources if you know where to look.

I don't lie far from that area and it seems to me that one would have to be quite I'll prepared Amd lack some basic knowledge to get lost in that area. In the area if one would just hike up to the closest tall hill you over look all of metro Orane County, Ca with a total population of close to 500k people. Just about all the valleys and gullies lead down to a populated area. If your going to get lost in a wilderness area this is the one you'd want to get lost in. They were both in bad shape and glad they didn't meet Mr Mountain Lion and will be OK.
