Earlier this month NM SAR was activated to search for an autistic teen on White Sands National Monument. The search was started soon after the teen was missed mid afternoon, and continued throughout the night. 100 SAR responders were involved, including mounted resources. The teen is estimated to have traveled approximately 35 miles. Here is a local newspaper article about one team: http://htl.li/8Iulh It is easy to become disoriented among the sand dunes. Monument rangers handle many SAR missions without needing to call NM SAR for additional resources.
