This gentleman could possibly be in the Red River Gorge area, particularly around the Auxier Ridge trail. Please alert dispatch if you see him or his vehicle in the area. He has been missing since Tuesday.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.I’m not sure if I saw him or not. But around 5:00-5:30 pm at Airport Market a man came In had on a floppy hat t-shirt and shorts. Looked like he had been somewhere muddy. I also saw a black truck Not sure what make it was. He just kinda stood out and seemed disoriented. Prayers he is found safe
You’d think this truck would have onstar and could be tracked... Hope he’s found
Make it where it can be shared
Prayers!❤

PCSAR responded to a call for a hiker who slipped over a creek bank on Whittleton Arch trail and injured her ankle. The area was very muddy and part of the trail had slipped off the side of the hill, making the trail difficult to hike on. Powell County Emergency Medical Services reached the patient first and began treating the hiker. PCSAR AND Red STAR Wilderness EMS sent in responders with additional equipment and supplies to carry the hiker out of the woods. Lee County Search & Rescue and Middle Fork fire dept. Responded with additional manpower for the carryout. The patient was packaged and brought to the waiting ambulance for transport to the hospital.
Prayers for her and thanks for everyone involved in the rescue
That trail seems like it stays muddy all year long
Great job well done
Best crew around!

One month after completing snake bite training with Red STAR Wilderness EMS, we received a call for someone bitten by a copperhead on Pilots Knob trail. After watching the sunset on top of Pilots Knob, the subject was walking barefoot back down the trail when the bite took place. The subject had some immediate medical issues occur, but tried to walk out on his own. He almost made it out, but the pain began to be too intense to continue. He called 911 and asked for help to make the rest of the way. Powell County Emergency Medical Services and PCSAR responded and sent a hasty team into the woods. After reaching the subject, he realized he was closer to the end of the trail than he thought and decided to try and walk on out on his own. This was of the more severe snake bite reactions we have seen. Thankfully the hiker made it to his car and have his friend drive him to the hospital for treatment.

Gotta loves the tats…compromise is spelled wrong. The bite is on “pain is inevitable”
I feel for this person but, really, walking around in the gorge after dark, barefoot?? Really. And I appreciate those earthy people who want to literally touch the earth with bare feet. Such a decision is a little beyond the naïve.
Barefoot in copperhead territory. Great idea.
Had a friend get bit , she went to the Stanton Hospital but they had no venom. They told her Winchester had the venom. Lots of driving and pain but she made it . got bit on roadside parking area. In the grass a little baby snake . hope Stanton got some venom there now.
I wore hiking sandels on this trail. Never again! The baby copperheads are emerging now & born with venom.
Everyone knocking the barefoot. You do realize that copperheads have approximately 2 inch fangs and can pierce through light shoe materials and possibly leather and rubber. Of course all that depends of the sturdiness of the materials used. Sure shoes may have helped but not completely. My point is, one should always watch their step regardless of what they have on their feet.
How was it identified for sure? Just curious bc in Eastern KY everyone calls a brown snake a Copperhead or a dark looking snake. It's obviously a bite from a venomous snake, but Timbers are out everywhere too right now. I'm just curious on how it was identified.
Leaving chimney Rock few evenings ago at dusk...they were 6 copperhead crawling across the gravel road at different spots...no way I'd walk out of there at dark...
Barefoot in fading light conditions . Thank Goodness for you guys ! You Rock!
Does it seem snake population has increased since they quit having the snake round up?
Barefoot? In the gorge, aka copperhead central?
I don't walk in venomous snake country in sandals or barefoot.
SMH side to side lol. Thank you guys for all of your sacrifices and hard work!
Did he actually step on it? Or, what caused it to bite?
Thanks for all you do!!! Hopefully this person has learned a lesson from this experience!!!
The snake probably took offense to those foot tattoos.
barefoot hippies lol j/k, glad he made it out and the team could help
Barefoot?!? 🤦🤷 I could never do your job... Kudos to you!!!
Put some shoes on, hippie! 😅
Katy Ashley Crowe remember when we were close to the nest? This dude got bit on same trail
I feel like I can walk barefooted over venomous snakes when I drink hard liqour too. 😏
kudos to EMS but please appreciate these tattoos with me Adrienne Craig . 🤣
Darwinism at its finest
So dumb walking barefoot. Completely unprepared, novice move, not to mention being clueless to his own location and surroundings. Glad you all were there.
If only the individual had been wearing appropriate footwear.
