Welcome to group.

A few points I though interesting from the video report:

The SAR team let them sleep for a few hours after building them a fire and getting them something to eat. Guessing that they wanted to get their energy built back up and wait until daylight to treck out.

Surprised, in a good way, that whoever was in the base camp requested help after four hours. I wonder if they had talked about a certain time limit as a past-due point before heading out.

Report said SAR spent 13 hours searching (assume in total for all five). As Nicodemus said, they probably did cover quite a bit of ground on their bikes.

Regards,
Buckeye
