An all-day rescue operation Sunday ended with a 44-year old Aspen man admitted to Aspen Valley hospital after sustaining injuries while hunting in the high country above Meredith. Joshua Burnaman was thrown from his mule about two miles north of the Waterbury Trail head in the Frying Pan drainage. Around 2:15 PM, Mountain Rescue Aspen volunteers found Mr. Burnaman at 9,600 feet. After determining that evacuation on foot was not possible, a High Altitude Army National Guard helicopter was dispatched from Buckley Air Force Base on the Front Range and transported Burnaman to the Pitkin County Airport where he was taken by ambulance to Aspen Valley Hospital. All volunteer rescue personnel were safely out of the field by 6:00 PM.
