The Dramatic Rescue
After approximately two hours of aerial searching, Ford and his team spotted Cody about 10 miles from the Boy Scout camp around 8:30 a.m. Despite being cold, tired, and hungry, Cody was unharmed. Ford landed the helicopter nearby to retrieve him. Upon rescue, Ford remarked, “Boy, you sure must have earned a merit badge for this one.” Cody humorously replied, “I already earned this badge last summer.”
