Search continues for 8 y/o boy lost in Porcupine Mnt state park

He was last seen around 1 pm Saturday.

"A group of family members was camping in the state park. Half of the family was fishing, and half was collecting firewood. The eight-year-old boy asked to return to the nearby camp site. He left to walk back at 1:00 p.m. ET Saturday. That’s when he was last seen. The family searched on their own and then reported the situation to law enforcement around 6:00 p.m. ET Saturday."

It's not uncommon for people to get lost here in the Upper Peninsula. Mist are found. Some are found too late and there are a few over the years who have never been found .

I'm not suspecting anything suspicious --- just why would you wait until 6:00 to report it? 3Hotdogs May 2023 #1

Firewood people should have been back in an hour, unless that group thought he was still with the fishing crew.

I hope he's found and in good shape.
