I remember this one. Someone else lost him, but he knew where he was and wanted to be there.
Yeah that's the only way it makes sense.
I mean if you have a functioning phone and you felt you were in danger, would you sit around waiting for someone to call you?
Our guy was obviously having a merry old time out hiking, and ignoring unknown numbers. Then only found out later someone else was freaked out about him being lost.
But a story like that isn't going to get shared as a facebook meme...
This is like when I was 11 and my family went hiking up a mountain in Yellowstone. My young cousin and I thought my brother was ahead of us on the trail so we hurried up trying to catch up to him. We were passing many hikers on a busy trail and being safe.
An hour later my brother comes running up behind us saying everyone is looking for us! Apparently the park rangers had been mobilized to search for us, the missing children, and when we got down the mountain an hour or more later our families were down there in tears fearing we had fallen off the mountain or something.
Point being, it's totally possible for everyone to think you're lost and in danger when you are fine and know exactly where you are.
Did you read the other guy's story in this thread, pretty funny
That last part sounds like how Disney World deals with lost kids- You're not lost, you're right here. It's your parents that are lost.
Yes it was annoying how our families kept bringing up how we "got lost on the mountain" during the trip and we kept having to remind them that we weren't lost, just hiking!
