Oakhurst Woman Found Hurt; Have You Seen Her Jeep?

An Oakhurst woman was found unconscious on the side of the road near Bass Lake Saturday night. The Jeep she was driving still has not been located.

Now, Madera County Sheriff's Detectives are hoping the public can help them figure out what happened.

Detectives say 42-year-old Shanin Path was found lying on the side of Road 222, north of Road 274, shortly after 8:30 p.m. She was rushed to a hospital with severe injuries to her head.

According to the sheriff's office, Path was last seen driving her blue 2004 Jeep Wrangler in Ahwahnee at around 7 p.m. She was supposed to meet with friends for dinner in Oakhurst, but never showed up.

Detectives say Path's Jeep is similar to the one pictured above. The Jeep's California license plate is 5HOU133.

Military Families To Get Free Entry Into National Parks

Military members and their families will soon be able to enter Yosemite National Park for free.

The Interior Department says free annual passes for all 397 national parks will be available to members of the military starting Saturday, May 19, 2012, which is Armed Forces Day.

“We all owe a debt to those who sacrifice so much to protect our country,” said Yosemite National Park Superintendent, Don Neubacher. “We are proud to recognize these brave men and women and hope that a visit to this or any national park will offer an opportunity to unwind, relax, rejuvenate, and just have fun with their families.”

The passes typically cost $80. They provide access to more than 2,000 wildlife refuges, public lands and national parks including Yosemite.

Military members and their families must show a current, valid military ID card to get the pass.

Ooh, Aah: Take In Yosemite Views By Computer

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Want to see this year's spring snowmelt roar down the iconic Yosemite Falls? You could trek to the national park in California, or you could just go online.

A nonprofit has set up a webcam pointed at the tallest waterfall in North America.

The HD camera went live Monday on the soaring 2,425-foot Yosemite Falls. It allows anyone with computer access to watch the sight in stunning detail, and updates the images every 30 seconds.

Paid for by the nonprofit Yosemite Conservancy, it's 1 of 4 Web feeds available at the park. Other views are Half Dome, El Capitan and the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Yosemite joins a smattering of parks across the nation using technology to connect America's natural wonders with fans around the world.
