Searchers were descending to a lower elevation to be airlifted off of the mountain by helicopter. They planned to reassess on Tuesday whether the body of Tommy Fountain can be safely recovered. 10s rain did not fall. Crews helped her off the mountain, and she was met by relatives. At nearly 10,500 feet, Mount Jefferson is the second-highest peak in Oregon, behind Mount Hood. Part of the Cascade Range, it is northwest of Bend and in a wilderness destination popular among climbers, campers, hikers, anglers and cyclists. The couple’s vehicle was found Sunday on a trailhead in Marion County.

In early November, deputies got a report about a large dump on a Sene- ca-Jones landing. They found mail belonging to a residence in Sutherlin, and the residents told them they paid their neighbor to take the garbage to the dump. But the neighbor told deputies he chucked the trash in the woods when he realized he didn’t have enough money for the dump fee after refueling his truck.
