SISTERS, Ore. -- Less than 12 hours after finding a Sisters man lost in the woods near Three Creeks Lake, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue members were out again Thursday night, this time west of Sisters, helping find another lost hiker.

And it was a quicker success, this part, thanks in large part to the man’s cell phone, which narrowed the search area down.

Sheriff’s deputies and SAR were dispatched around 7:30 p.m. to the report of a lost hiker in the Black Crater area, north of the Three Sisters and east of McKenzie Pass, said Deputy Rhett Hemphill.

Jacob Richard Reents, 31, of Elmira, had been hiking with his father when they became separated and he went off-trail, Hemphill said.

Reents tried to find the trail again, but could not. Hemphill said the hiker became concerned that he was lost and called 911 on his cell phone. (The Sisters man who became lost and spent Wednesday night in the woods reportedly did not have a cell phone.)

SAR officials made contact with Reents and told him to stay put, Hemphill said.

Then they pinpointed his location by the GPS in his cell phone, helping in finding him.

A total of 18 SAR members responded to the area, starting the search on foot and by vehicle in the area he was last seen and where the cell phone GPS indicated he was.

Reents was found by ground teams and a tracking team around 11:30 p.m., a short distance from the indicated cell phone location, Hemphill said.

Reents was in good health and taken back to the trailhead, where he was reunited with family members.
