"They said the man had walked away from the Olema Ranch Campground while "potentially severely intoxicated.""
"Rachelle Wilmot, a deputy with the Marin County Sheriff's Office, said the team had assembled so quickly to "make sure that we located this person as quickly as possible.""
""The subject walked back to his campsite and reported that he had been passed out in a field about half mile away," officials from the Marin County Search and Rescue said in a post on Facebook."
""There's not really a missing person in this situation," Wilmot told SFGATE. "He walked off, and then ultimately he found his way back. No medical was required.""
Search and rescue personnel in Marin County deployed about 40 people after friends reported a camper walked away from Olema Ranch Campground shortly before midnight while potentially severely intoxicated. By 3 a.m. K-9 units, e-bike teams and an unmanned drone were searching a heavily wooded area. Deputy Rachelle Wilmot said the response aimed to locate the person quickly. After roughly an hour the camper returned to his site and said he had been passed out in a field about half a mile away. No medical assistance was required. Officials urged campers to carry charged phones, use the buddy system and avoid walking off alone.
