Wow, not often one of these media-hyped stories ends happily like this. Ever since the media started randomly picking middle-class white kids that go missing, they all end up dead sans this.

Brennan had no food or water with him, and his family said he did not have a good sense of direction.

No Elizabeth Smart.
This is really good news, cause just last year here in Utah another Boy Scout went missing in the same area, but he was never found.

Glad the boy is OK, but am getting sick of this type of shit dominating the national "news cycle". Thankfully, the News Hour w/ Jim Lehrer keeps this crap to an absolute minimum.

"He had two thoughts going through his head all the time," she said. "Toby's always told him that 'If you get lost, stay on the trail.' So he stayed on the trail. We've also told him don't talk to strangers ... when an ATV or horse came by [looking for him] he got off the trail ... when they left, he got back on the trail."
What a retard. :lol:
