A woman and her 8-year-old son in New Jersey’s Sourland Mountain Preserve wandered off trail and were unable to find the marked trail on Tuesday.
The mother and son became lost and were unable to locate the trailhead. The woman called 911 on her GPS-enabled cell phone. The dispatcher used the GPS coordinates and plotted her location on Google Earth. She then sent a police officer within 1,000 feet from the mother’s position.
The officer honked his horn, which helped guide the woman and her son back to the road. Both the woman and son were found in good condition.
