I read this and thought "Hmm, what if that had been us? We were in that general area." What would frighten me would be all the night-time activity of border crossers sneaking across.

County Search and Rescue helps hiker lost at night in the mountains
Published: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 2:16 AM MST
An exhausted hiker was rescued from the Huachuca Mountains late Saturday.
Cochise County Search and Rescue received a 911 call from a woman late Saturday night, SAR spokesman Raul Limon said. The tired hiker stated she was not sure of her location and she did not have a flashlight. She told rescuers she could see lights and had seen a pond before nightfall.
U.S. Border Patrol agents assisted the team and searched the Brown Canyon overlook, Pomona Mine trail and Fort Huachuca’s South Range.
Search and Rescue teams focused their search in the Ramsey Canyon area and made voice contact with her in the Ramsey Canyon Preserve area. Rescuers were able to triangulate her position. The woman was eventually rescued from a ridge between Ramsey and Brown canyons.
