Jackson Chandler, 17, and Bradley Nelson, 16, two teens lost
in the Cascade Mountains near the Table Rock Wilderness over the weekend, were
found Monday afternoon.
They left their homes in West Linn to day hike in the Table
Rock Wilderness area Saturday afternoon and did not return. According to
reports, about 50 people searched for them on Monday, aided by an Oregon Air
National Guard helicopter.
The pair did not need medical attention when they were
located at about 2 p.m. Monday.
Both boys are in the Boy Scouts, have multiple outdoor and
survival skill merit badges and are working on becoming Eagle Scouts, a family
spokesperson said. It was their first hike into the Table Rock area.
Hunters found the boys' truck Sunday afternoon along the
side of the road near the Lost Creek Meadow area about five miles east of the
Table Rock Wilderness.
