(06-25) 12:26 PDT SIERRA NATIONAL FOREST -- A search is under way for nine teenagers and two adult guides who are missing on an adventure trip in the Sierra south of Yosemite National Park, the Fresno County Sheriff's Department said today. Three of the missing people are from the Bay Area.
Four girls, including two 16-year-olds from East Palo Alto and Alameda, five teenage boys and two adult hikers, including a 30-year-old San Rafael man, failed to meet up with another adult guide in the Sierra National Forest as planned Sunday, said Deputy Christian Curtice, sheriff's spokesman.
Curtice declined to identify the missing hikers. He said the group is believed to have enough provisions to last at least until Friday.
Outward Bound groups are generally prepared and led by experienced people and should make it out fine.
