They were finally able to get Guillermo Pino's body out of the Mud Caves
Looks like they had to use specialists from a Mine Rescue Team

Really makes me think about all the trips I have spent out there.
You never think anything is going to go wrong.
I am glad the family will get some closure now. upset

Very sad indeed, and a reminder to anyone (many of us!) that may go exploring in remote areas alone. I thought of this young man while I was checking out the gold mines near Banner this past weekend. If something had happened, it would have been a long time before I was found, even though I told people where I was going and stayed near a well-traveled road.

RIP Guillermo

My prayers go out to the family, and pretty crazy that out of all the professionals trained in cave exploring that it was a family member that finally found him. Glad there was a resolution on this.

Herofix, would love to see your trip report on the mines you explored smile

What I read today suggested a group looking for him created some kind of cave in that allowed them to see his body. I know I have been in Hidden Cave many times before, alone on triple digit days...food for thought. The family has shown amazing strength thru all of this.
