    All is ok up here. we have had 3 search and rescues this past week where one guy was found in glennie at the bar, one guy was found in mio, and a family was found in one of the heating shacks on one of the trails up here and quite a few medical. our chief told us we were having a slow month for calls a couple weeks ago and last week he apologized for saying it. it has been busy to say the most.
