Two Bend snowmobilers who became stranded near Dutchman Flat Sno-park Wednesday afternoon were rescued a few hours later, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office said.

Bend residents Rob Schmidt, 46, and Ken Howard, 32, had been snowmobiling in the Moon Mountain area between Three Creeks Lake and Dutchman Flat when they became stuck due to heavy snowfall. The two were unable to dig themselves out and called the authorities for assistance.

Howard and Schmidt were located at around 5:30 p.m. by search and rescue volunteers. They were cold, but uninjured.
