Hi Folks,

Some information on the 11 year old found status 1 in Utah.

1st - "The boy apparently eluded thousands of searchers by defying
conventional wisdom: He went up instead of down."

"Brennan had hiked some 600 feet higher and more than five miles into
the mountains to the spot where searcher Forrest Nunley found him before
noon Thursday"
"Hawkins was found in good condition Tuesday by Forrest Nunley, a
43-year-old house painter from Salt Lake City who was out looking on his
own, miles outside of active search grids. " Source is MSNBC

2nd - "The boy had seen some volunteer searchers on horseback but
avoided them because he was scared. His parents had told him not to talk
to strangers." Who said a horse is a attraction device?

Summit County Sheriff Dave Edmunds said it was "very surreal" when rain
and even some snow rolled in about two hours after the boy was found
Tuesday. He said the deteriorating weather would have made survival much
more difficult.

FYI
