Yeah, as a dad, me too.
But. Now that he's found:
Am I the only one that thinks that something is not quite right about this story? He walks off during lunch, and is that quickly out of earshot while several other party members are searching and presumably calling for him?
Hmmmmmmmmmm . . .
I thought that odd too. Interested to get more details!
I thought some follow-up would be interesting and instructive, too. I also can't remember another SAR story with absolutley no follow-up, no interview with the family or victim. Lots of things about this don't fit. The boy disappears in the time it takes to make a sandwich, out of earshot. Lost and alone overnight at elevation, gets back on trail and finds the trail crew, evac by chopper and not a single quote anywhere from the kid, the rescuers, family. Odd.
