He had gone for a walk at around 3 p.m. that day in an area he says he is familiar with. </p><p> "When he went to walk back to the area they were camping in Rubicon Springs, he began walking in the wrong direction," writes the PCSO. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> That wrong turn took Elliot on a detour lasting five days and at least nine miles, during which time the sheriff's office says he <a href="https://www.advnture.com/features/finding-safe-drinking-water-in-nature" rel="nofollow"> drank water from a river </a> and ate berries to keep his energy levels up. During that time, between 50 and 100 searchers scoured the surrounding area looking for Elliott each day. </p><p> "From the point he was last seen, near Cadillac Hill, to the area he was found, Hell Hole Reservoir, is roughly 9 miles as the crow flies; however, he walked much further than that over the five days. Mr. Elliott was not hurt and is in good spirits." </p><p> In a heartwarming video which you can watch below, Elliot is seen looking a little dazed and tattered but otherwise healthy as he is escorted on foot to a waiting helicopter which transports him back to a command post. Once there he is seen in an emotional reunion with family members and his trusty cowboy hat. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><iframe data-lazy-src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FPlacerSheriff%2Fvideos%2F459965683530589%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" height="314" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FPlacerSheriff%2Fvideos%2F459965683530589%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="100%"></iframe><h2 id="staying-safe-in-the-wild-5"> Staying safe in the wild </h2><p> Incidents like these show that any of us can get disoriented in the wild and take a wrong turn and underscore the need to carry a <a href="https://www.advnture.com/how-to/how-to-read-a-map" rel="nofollow"> map </a> and <a href="https://www.advnture.com/buying-guides/best-compass" rel="nofollow"> compass </a> even when you think you know the area well.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically.
