At 1935 hours the Team was called to assist a 28-year-old male who was struck in the head by a falling tree in the Waugh Lake area. He had initially called for assistance earlier, but then cancelled his request at 1728 hours. Rescue base was established at the Rush Creek Trailhead, and 2 field teams departed base with the wheeled litter and medical equipment.

The field teams made contact with the subject at 2200 hours just below Agnew Lake, and he was assessed and then assisted (under his own power) back to the Rush Creek Trailhead. Mono County Medic Unit 2 was called, but the subject declined treatment. The operation was terminated at 2344 hours.
