On Sunday, a spokeswoman from the San Bernardino County sheriff’s department reported that a 62-year-old man left his Green Valley Lake home on Friday afternoon to hike at the San Bernardino Mountains just before the winter storm began. On the same day, the hiker used his mobile phone to tell authorities that the fog caused him to lose his sense of direction. Search crews are still looking for the man who was last in contact with authorities early Saturday. He is believed to be dressed warmly, is familiar with the territory, and has good survival skills from previous military training.
