"We were coming to the end of our assignment, and we came around a corner and we looked up, and we saw a lady standing there and we were all surprised," said Rogue Valley Search and Rescue team leader Rick Klimek, "and I said, 'Is that her?' and her father said, 'Ashley!' and he ran to hug her." Laird was reportedly disoriented and dyhdrated, but she was on her own two feet when she was found. Klimek said Laird was found on the bottom of Rail Trail in Jacksonville, the end of the loop. Klimek, a Phoenix resident, was leading Team 1, as it was called, since Friday. Sunday's assignment led the group through the Forest Creek trails, up Ol' Miner's Trail and back down Rail. They found her close to the road. "We couldn't believe it," Klimek said. "I'm so happy, I'm so relieved," said Jenny Hall, a friend of Laird's who had been searching through the weekend. Laird was transported to Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center, where she is an emergency room physician.
