#BreakingNews: Searchers Locate Hiker lost in Arkansas Wilderness

A Texas man who went missing a week ago while hiking through a remote area of Arkansas has been found safe, according to authorities.

On June 1st, Joshua McClatchy, 38, texted his mom saying he was lost and in need of help. After days of searching, McClatchy, who was described as an experienced hiker, was found late Friday in a wilderness area about 105 miles from Little Rock.

Searchers spotted him from a helicopter using infrared technology, but it reportedly took rescue teams an hour to reach him and several hours to get him out of the area.  He was said to be dehydrated but otherwise in good spirits after his rescue.

#BreakingNews; Search Underway for Missing Hiker in Arkansas

Alarming news: A hiker that prepared for a difficult hike and did adequate research has gone missing. Aware that he was lost, he reached out to family members with text messages, which have now stopped.

A search for a Fort Worth waiter who has been missing for four days after he became lost on a hiking trail in the mountains of west Arkansas continued on Wednesday without success.

Joshua McClatchy, 38, is in a remote and rugged area near Mena, Arkansas.

McClatchy became lost in the Caney Creek Wilderness Area on the Buckeye Trail. He had not previously hiked the trail, but had researched it and consulted with others who are familiar with it, according to family members.

Gavin Johnston, Missing from the PCT and Helpful #MissingHiker Tips.

Gavin Johnston, 28, was last seen on the Pacific Crest Trail on 10/18/2018.

Please use the following link for updates:  https://www.facebook.com/Find-Gavin-Johnston-missing-from-the-Pacific-Crest-Trail-WA-2141098792639233/

Additionally, this page is doing something very useful this that I think would be helpful for other #MissingHiker groups/pages/posts/news announcements.

They have a very detailed account of the gear this man was carrying at the time of his disappearance.

Why is this helpful?

Well, the PCT isn't as popular as the AT, and if you spot someone else with "too much" of the EXACT SAME GEAR, that's enough for any rational person to be alarmed and contact authorities. Alternately, in the worst case scenario, if remains turn up and these items are within a reasonable distance, it helps to identify the body.
