Update:
2:18 p.m.: "The Fresno County Sheriff's Office has suspended its search for four women hiking near Lake Italy in the Sierra Nevada.
Hikers who had talked to the women on the John Muir Trail near Silver Pass told search and rescue crews Wednesday night that the women were all in good condition and had resumed hiking north to their destination in Tuolumne County, the sheriff's office said Thursday.
The women told the hikers of their call to the sheriff's office when they became disoriented due to smoke from the Aspen Fire, which has now blackened 2,500 acres northwest of Huntington Lake.
Search and rescue crews have been pulled from the area and the women's families have been notified, the sheriff's office said."
Oh. Well. Alrighty, then. Never mind.
