Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Missing Hiker Found on Piestewa Peak
Just to clear up any confusion, this is not me. :-P




(CBS 5 News) -- NewsHawk 5's camera was the first to spot a hiker missing
since the search began on Monday's hot afternoon.
64-year-old Don Weeks was spotted on the west side of Piestewa Peak just
after 6 o'clock this morning.

It was news his family had been waiting for about 16 hours. The hiker from
Goodyear was reported missing Monday around 2pm.

Weeks was about half-way down the mountain when Newshawk 5 spotted him.

The terrain was so rough, a rescue chopper could not reach him. He actually
had to walk back up the mountain part of the way as his rescuers helped him,
then finally carried him the rest of the way.

Weeks told rescuers he was dehydrated, hungry, tired and sore.
