I saw Joseph missing a few days ago. I've been away and I thought he would be found. Is this considered the 4th day?

Yes....they found the tracks about 36 hours after he disappeared. This kid was walking and moving........trying to find his way back home.
The average adult walks at the pace of about 3 miles per hour, so in 4 hours, you could walk 12 miles.
He walked through the forest for 36 hours.....and went 12 miles. Makes sense.
Don't forget, the first night he was lost, he may have wandered aimlessly all night long. He may have had enough moonlight to follow a dirt road or a fire service road for miles.
12 miles? Oh my goodness. My 8 year old barely made a 4 mile hike yesterday. There was a lot of whining and way too many breaks. I can't imagine him hiking 12 miles. Crazy.
There were images posted in this thread yesterday of the campsite area. Around #247I'm not familiar with the area but are there even trees in this forest? The Arizona I've seen doesn't even have what I'd call trees just asking
It doesn't say he chased grasshoppers for a great distance, but that they were a great distance away from the group when he was chasing grasshoppers. There should be grasshoppers there. Makes perfect sense to me.thanks cbanning for all your local insight...I agree, the grasshoppers just don't make sense to me. eyeing them in that dense a forest area would be difficult enough not to mention chasing them down for the length of two football fields. something doesn't seem right.
leaning towards the theory of a benevolent disappearance, for now...just can't wrap my head around any other possibility at the moment...

On Google earth images, yes. From ground view level and including current growth, it looks a lot harder to wade through.I don't know why anyone is saying it's dense. It looks quite sparse to me.

I'd say the pictures provided are our best bet in describing the area, and finding Lonzie, versus relying on semantics.I've actually been through the area. Stayed in Williams. And hiked a bit through "denser" areas near there on the way back from the Grand canyon. Nothing like truly dense forest areas. Not to me.

The 4 hour wait to call 911 seems mind blowing. My niece went missing for 5 minutes when we were camping and it was terrifying, we were moments away from calling 911.
