Heavy snow and high winds hampered search efforts until Thursday, March 2, when two ground teams and a helicopter focused on the Gilbert Pass area, about 30 miles east of Big Pine. Around noon that day, the California Highway Patrol reported that on the previous Friday — the day the driver left Big Pine — a cellular ping associated with his phone was received from the area of Death Valley Road, which forks south off Highway 168.
A CHP helicopter made a search of that road and identified a vehicle partly buried in snow. As the helicopter approached, a person inside the car lowered the window and began waving.

He was taken to the Bishop hospital for treatment of undisclosed conditions and released that evening.
