There really isn't much to say about "us" We are a group of former US Navy and Civilian Search and Rescue Personnel who over the years worked hand in hand with each other performing both military and civilian life saving missions in Northern Nevada and California. Every couple years we get together to tell stories and lies and try to remember how much fun we had just doing our jobs.

Several of us though retired from military service years ago still keep "in touch" with the Search and Rescue Community. The phrase JOTNR (Just Over the Next Ridge) was coined in the middle 80's by Deputy Jim Scruggs of the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office in Sonora California.
