ONTONAGON, MI-- The search for a mother and her son lost in the Porcupine Mountains has ended well.
Troopers from the Wakefield Post were called to The Lake of the Clouds viewing area Tuesday around 8:30
p.m. They were told a 37-year-old woman and her 11-year-old son had become separated from the rest of the family on their way back to the park. A search was initiated by park rangers, troopers, and a K-9, but they were forced to stop the search around 2 a.m.
The search was resumed 6 a.m. Wednesday, with the help of a Coast Guard helicopter. At about 8:30 a.m. the woman and her son were found by a Calumet Post K-9 unit on the Carp River Trail about a half-mile from where they were last seen. Both were in good health and good spirits.
