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!”
