Three Lost
Teenagers Found
Three
teenagers who were lost in the woods for three days were foud early this
morning. They were tired and hungry, but healthy and happy to be found. John Lee, 15, Adam Montez, 15, and Luke Jones,
16, had left early Saturday morning to go hiking in the mountain. They said they had planned to hike
for a few hours into their hike, they realized that they were lost. We followed a trail for a while,” Lee explained, “but then we decided to take a
shortcut to the river. On our way back, Adam
fell and sprained his ankle. Luke and
I helped him walk, but we couldn’t find the trail again. We didn’t know where
we were or how to get back to Luke’s
car.”
The boys
looked for the trail for a few hours. However, it was starting to get dark, and
they were worried about Adam’s ankle,
so they decided to find a place to spend the night. “It was starting to get really cold,” Jones said,
“so we made a fire and tried to sleep for a few hours, John
got a burn on his hand while we were making the fire.” When asked whether they
had anything to eat, Jones
said that they had eaten most of the food that they had packed for their hike
earlier in the day. They had only a couple of bags of chips, some
almonds, and two bottles of water left in their backpacks.
The boys
spent the next two days looking for the trail. It was difficult because Adam was suffering from his sprained ankle, and Luke got stung by a bee on his arm. On Monday, they
hiked for several hours before they heard voices in the distance. They followed
the sound of the voices and found a family of campers. The campers had heard
about the lost boys on the radio, and drove them to a nearby police station
where their families were waiting for them. When asked whether they will ever go hiking again,
Motez said, “sure we will, but
we’ll stay on the trail next time! Or bring a lot more food!”
