Nicholas Vlahos, his 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter
were discovered by rescuers around 8 p.m. local time on
Thursday, the Sierra County Sheriff’s Office said.
The family was taken by helicopter to a camp near the town of
Camptonville, about 85 miles northeast of Sacramento, local
broadcaster KPIX reported.
Vlahos was last seen earlier in the week in western Sierra
County and had intended to return home through what authorities
said described as a remote and rugged portion of Sierra and
Plumas Counties. The family was said to be in good health and
carrying ample food and water supplies.
An Instagram account registered to a Nick Vlahos had as its most
recent images photographs of children next to a river and a
black Toyota pickup from a post stamped Friday, May 3.
