MOHAVE COUNTY—A 62-year-old man was rescued by the Mohave County Search & Rescue team Thursday afternoon near Trout Creek.

The man was located a short time later at a cowboy camp south of Knight Creek. He was found uninjured and without food or water. 

Searchers escorted than man to safety, said Mortensen.
