A man who went missing while mushroom picking with some friends was found alive Dec. 11.

Erik Everardo Aguilar-Cisneros, 32, of Springfield, became lost in the area of Hadsall Creek Road, south of Mapleton Dec. 6.

Lane County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue (SAR) began an intensive search of the area. SAR deputies and volunteers continued searching each day and into the night, employing ground searchers, K9s, and drones.

The terrain in the area where Aguilar-Cisneros became lost is extremely rugged, often requiring the use of ropes to access drainages.

Aguilar-Cisneros was found in the same area he went missing by SAR and transported to an area hospital for treatment related to hypothermia.
