Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) says it was asked by RCMP Wednesday afternoon to locate a family in the Postill Lake area.
COSAR says four people became stranded when a side-by-side became stuck in deep mud.
According to COSAR, the family followed all the proper steps after getting stuck. They called for help, used a satellite messenger to share their location, and stayed where they were until rescue crews arrived.
COSAR says their 92nd task of the year safely brought the family home.
If you’re heading into the backcountry, COSAR says carry reliable communications, share your trip plan, and if you become stranded, stay put and call for help.
