| CAÑON CITY - The mountains produced an answered prayer late Tuesday in the form of a tired 8- year-old boy who survived four days alone in the rugged high country. Evan Thompson was located by a search team from Vail Mountain Rescue aboard an all-terrain vehicle about 4:20 p.m. Tuesday at Hole in the Rock Gulch, roughly five miles northwest from the mesa-top campsite he ran away from Saturday morning after a breakfast of Lucky Charms, an orange and a glass of milk. "He's alive and well," said an elated Zak Slutzky of Western State Mountain Rescue in Gunnison. "He's completely unharmed." Evan told his foster mother that one of the nights he was missing he spent in a tree. Another, he said, he slept on a rock. |
