Search and rescue teams rescued a family of 10 from Lefors, Texas, after they got lost during a hike in the rugged mountains of southwestern Montana.
Beaverhead County Sheriff Franklin Kluesner tells The Montana Standard that two boys, ages 13 and 14, hiked several miles for help on June 19, two days after the family got lost in the mountains near Wisdom.
They were out of food and water by the 18th and resorted to drinking stream water.
Kluesner says a 41-year-old man and the boys caught frogs, cooked and ate them on morning of the 19th and then headed for help. The man collapsed along the way. A rancher spotted the boys and searchers found the man and then his wife and six other children.
Officials say the entire family was sick from drinking unsafe water.
