The terrain is unforgiving. Roger Norris of Shelton learned that first-hand when he got lost while on a hunting trip and remained missing for days.
HOODSPORT, Wash. — Besides a few bumps and bruises, Roger Norris is upbeat two days after, assisted by at least a dozen other organizations, rescued him from the mountainous terrain beyond the Mildred Lakes Trailhead.
An experienced hunter and outdoorsman, Roger brought the essentials he needed to survive just in case an emergency happened. This hunting trip would put his survival skills to the test.

They were going to find me," he said."As far as this whole event, 90% of it was mental. You had to keep yourself calm and know you were going to make it every day.
The younger Norris was set to meet his father on Oct. 3. When Roger didn't show, Cody and his fiancée did some searching of their own with no luck. They called the Mason County Sheriff's Office to report his father missing that night. "That's when the panic kind of set in," Cody said."Where is he? Where is my dad?"
