“They spent the night in their vehicle, and in the morning, the vehicle’s battery was dead,” explains LCSO Lieutenant David Woginrich.

At this point the pair attempted to walk back to Highway 44.

“Sheena began falling behind as the soles of her boots had come off. Justin continued walking ahead and soon they became separated. Justin went back to find Sheena, but because of heavy snowfall, he was unable to find her.”

Lonich sought shelter and built a campfire. The next morning, he continued walking until he came to a gravel road. He again sought shelter for the night. The next day, Lonich was able to reach Highway 44, where he hitched a ride into Susanville from a passerby.

Thereafter, he reported what happened and Sheena was stranded in the forest, possibly with their vehicle.

“Initially, details of this incident were unclear and made it difficult for Sheriff’s Office personnel to narrow down a search area. Justin was not familiar with the area and the roads they had been traveling on. ”

“From the time Justin reported this incident, Sheriff’s deputies, sergeants, detectives, and US Forest Service personnel conducted ground searches every day. On one day, when the weather was clear, the California Highway Patrol flew the search area in a helicopter in conjunction with a ground search team, but they were unable to locate the vehicle or Sheena. Further searches from the air were unable to be conducted due to inclement weather.”

In the late morning of April 20th, Lonich rode along with a Sheriff’s deputy in the search area to help provide a better location of where he and Sheena became stuck in the snow.

A Sheriff’s sergeant, along with two US Forest Service personnel, were also in the search area looking for Sheena.

“The Sheriff’s sergeant and US Forest Service personnel split up and searched along several different dirt roads. At around 3:00 p.m., after searching for several hours, the Sheriff’s sergeant located the vehicle. Immediately upon his arrival, Sheena came out of the vehicle. She was very emotional, but physically okay.”

The Sheriff’s sergeant transported Sheena to the Bogard Ranger Station to be evaluated by medical personnel.

“She related the same details as Justin did as to how they became separated. During the six days Sheena was stranded, she rationed a six-pack of yogurt, eating one per day. She did not have any water and had been eating snow. She saw the helicopter fly over a few days earlier, but because she was in a heavily wooded area, they were unable to see her.”

Woginrich and the Sheriff’s Office Command Staff commended the efforts of all personnel involved in searching for and locating Gullett, “Through their efforts, Sheena was found safe and is now back home. Also, special thanks go out to the California Highway Patrol and the US Forest Service for their assistance.”

A new trailhead is proposed at Fredonyer Crest, north of State Route 36 near the snowmobile groomer shed.

The conceptual plan for this trailhead includes a parking area, informational kiosk, and one vault toilet. Additional parking space and a kiosk is planned near Goumaz Campground to accommodate day use activities on the trails.

This trail system will access scenic vistas and provide interpretive opportunities for users to discover the natural and cultural resources in the area.

Three ranchers, Millard Ulch, Vaden DeForest and J. C. Millsap, appeared before the city council Monday night and urged, at least in the city area, that the county license dogs and help bring them under control.

These ranchers pointed out that dogs are traveling in packs and killing considerable number of sheep on ranches in the area. They said they believed most of the dogs were from Susanville, and not ranch dogs.

After hearing the present status of the dog-pound proposal, the ranchers indicated they would take their problem up also with the county board of supervisors.

Dr. G. W. Worrell, Johnstonville veterinarian, has agreed to operate a dog pound for the city, but is not interested in the dog catching part of the operation.
