When I got back 20 minutes later, there were two cop cars and the
associated cops standing there looking around. I walked up and said
something to the effect "I'm guessing you're looking for me?" The
first cop came out strong. We were looking for a body. How can you
not call in a crash? Endangering public. etc. The other cop
obviously wanted to be the proverbial "good cop" but wasn't opening
his mouth.

When I used to land out, I'd leave a note in the glider in plain sight
that said "Pilot OK, gone to find the farmer and a phone". That was
pre-1994, when it wasn't common to carry a cell phone.

Now, it's sounds like a good idea to call 911 (if you don't know the
non-emergency number) in addition to leaving that note.
