A man, who had been missing since June 7th near Prescott, was found alive earlier this week and in good condition. Authorities say 64-year-old John Robert Saville was found eight miles from his truck in the Upper Burro Creek Wilderness, about 60 miles west of Prescott. Officials say Saville was thankful for everyone’s efforts to find him. He said he got lost and tried to find his way back during the last few days. Saville was also worried he would have to pay for his rescue, which officials say isn’t the case. Being an experienced hiker, helped him stay alive. He was found hiking alone, with no form of communication on him. Saville left his home back on June 7th at around 3 p.m. in his truck, with his backpack. He told a friend that he intended on going hiking northwest of Prescott and his plan was to return between June 16th and June 18th. Saville hadn’t returned.
