There have been a lot of missing hiker stories lately, and most haven’t ended well, but for one miracle story of the California hiker who was found alive and well after spending 10 days missing in the wild.
Lukas McClish thought he’d only be gone for three hours when he started his hike on June 11 in Boulder Creek, about 14 miles north of Santa Cruz, so he didn’t load up his backpack with snacks and layers – or even bother putting on a shirt for that matter. But he got lost and spent well over a week hiking up and down rugged canyons, drinking from waterfalls and foraging for berries before search and rescue teams discovered him disoriented, 30 pounds lighter, but otherwise unscathed.
