10 off-roaders rescued in Lake Forest
From wire service reports

LAKE FOREST - Ten off-roaders who got stuck on a narrow trail near Santiago Peak were rescued Sunday.
The nine men and a teenager, all from Lake Forest, were off-roading in two trucks Saturday night when one of the trucks, which did not have four-wheel drive, got stuck. The four-wheel drive truck behind it was unable to pass, the Orange County Register reported.
One of the men, who had a cellphone, called the Orange County Sheriff's Department about 11 p.m., said Lt. Fred Furey of the Sheriff's Department. The cellphone battery died immediately after the call, Furey said.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department sent a helicopter, but the search was called off when conditions became too foggy, the Register reported.
The 10 off-roaders spent the night sleeping in their trucks and outside, according to the Register.
At sunrise, sheriff's deputies resumed the search on foot and in off- road vehicles. Deputies found the off-roaders, who were in good condition, around 9 a.m. and helped them extricate their vehicles, the Register reported.
"You really need to know what your vehicle can do," Furey told the Register. "Regular trucks are not made to go into this terrain."
