The Wolfe County Search and Rescue Team had a happy ending in their search for a lost hiker along the Red River, in the Calaboose area of Wolfe County. The hiker went missing sometime Sunday evening.
According to the search and rescue Facebook page, team members used a locator link to track the man down. Officials say this is a very rugged area, but the hiker did have shelter.

The hiker called WCSART from his cell phone after becoming disoriented at an off trail arch in the southeastern portion of the Clifty Wilderness Area. The subject had camped at the arch overnight, but became disoriented when he attempted to navigate back to his vehicle.
Search and Rescue used the Your Location web app by Blue Toque Consulting. They were able to send the subject a brief text message containing a unique URL. Once he clicked that URL, they used GPS to locate him.
The team was able to locate the subject and return him to his vehicle by 9:15 pm. Sunday.
