Mounted search and rescue

[Una Smith <una.smith@att.net>]

In New Mexico if we find a body, we back off, call it in, and preserve
the scene.  That is, keep everyone away, which can be a lot harder than
you might suppose.  We then wait hours for a public safety officer and
a medical examiner to arrive and do their forensic work.  At this point
we may be dismissed, or asked to stand by to transport the body to the
trailhead.
