Uinta Mountains.......Boy Scout camping trip........Jared Ropelato got lost. But since he had learned not to panic, and had also learned to build a lean-to, in the event that he got lost, he was okay until he was found. He was missing for almost 24 hours.
It is really starting to look as if teaching children some proactive steps to take when and if they are lost would be a good idea. As a nation, we need to lose the idea that "those things will never happen to us". I am always happy to blog about a story with a happy outcome.
Here's what Jared had to say about the whole thing: "Asked if he would still go camping after his overnight ordeal, Jared simply said "yeah."
