A 17-year-old Japanese exchange student who went missing at Idaho’s Bogus Basin Recreation Area on Sunday was found at 11 AM on Monday by a motorist. The kid had walked approximately 20 miles during the night.
“It appears he is fine. As far as I know, there was no medical attention needed,” said Rogers, who noted that the boy could have easily suffered hypothermia from exposure to sub-freezing temperatures all night . . . “He is extremely lucky to be alive,” Roger said.
The student was described as a “rank beginner.”
