Info from Licensor: "As we arrived and were unloading our bikes, we were told by a fellow rider that a man had gone missing from his camp overnight. He was believed to be on a quad and possibly got lost or crashed, so to keep an eye out. Well after a short 45-minute ride through the dunes, we came across a stumbling man waving us down. Sure enough, it was the missing man. He had crashed his quad the night before and slid down the mountain side badly cutting his hands and resulting in several black bruises and scrapes. He was confused and off balance, due to extreme dehydration. I got him his first drink of water in over 12 hours of being in the extreme heat and scorching sun. The area was unfortunately short of any tall vegetation he could have used for shade. We flagged down some other riders and they got their side by side and drove him back to camp. One of the young men from that party was actually a football player that the missing man coached, so that was an odd coincidence to top everything off. Luckily the man was found and surely safe and hydrated again. Hopefully, they found their missing quad as well."
