Grumpy-here is a link to a local paper up your way. Sounds like your friend is alive and well.

A happy ending for once.

BUT, with this happy ending comes a warning that should not be ignored-
Ken was rescued because he started a fire that was spotted and fire crews responded.

While I am sure we all are glad he's okay, fires are not always the best way to get attention when lost. Here in SoCal, in 2003, a lost hunter set off a flare to get spotted. The fire he started burned almost 300,000 acres, destroyed more than 2300 homes, more than 500 other buildings and killed 15 people. It cost millions to fight.
