A pair of teens who went missing Saturday in the Pocket Wilderness at Mowbray Mountain were found safe Sunday morning.
Amy Maxwell of Hamilton County Emergency Services said a 16-year-old girl's parents called 911 at 8 p.m. Saturday to say she hadn't come home from a hike with an 18-year-old friend.
Volunteers from several area fire and rescue departments searched through the night, and the two teens turned up at Hogskin Branch, about four miles from the parking area for the wilderness. Both were in good shape, Maxwell said.
The teens reported they were hiking when the sun went down and they couldn't find their way back to the parking lot, so they decided to shelter overnight and wait for sunup.
