I didn't have any way to communicate with my dispatch center.
I'm now in charge of all of the volunteers who are looking for this baby and everything's pointing, keep searching down slope.
I tell my partner, can I borrow your radio?
I'm gonna take a walk straight up this mountain.
He says, no, but I'll go with you.
So together, we start walking straight up this mountain.
We're hot, we're sweaty, we're tired, and we're upset.
Maybe more upset than I've ever been in my life.
About 20 minutes straight uphill.
I'm panting, trying to catch my breath.
And in between pants, there's a moment of silence in a black forest.
And in that moment, I hear this small, precious little baby whimper.
At first, I couldn't believe it.
And if I was to describe this sound, it would be the sound of a baby that has cried and cried and cried and cried and cried until he couldn't cry anymore.
