The family of Ashland, Ky., man William "Mark" Boso, 32, and his brother, 43-year-old Charles "Mike" Boso III of Kalamazoo, Mich., said both men were found late Tuesday afternoon in Colorado and are doing well. They reportedly were stranded in snowy conditions.

The men were found in Eagle, Colo., located about a two-hour drive away from Meeker, Colo. -- the place where they were last seen before being reported missing.

Boso's wife was en route Tuesday night to Colorado to be with her husband.

A 7 p.m. Wednesday there will be a community concert of praise for the Boso family at the Second Free Will Baptist Church on 2121 29th St. in Ashland.

On Sunday the church is planning a welcome home dinner for Mark at 5:00 p.m

Original story
RIO BLANCO COUNTY, CO. (WSAZ) – Police are searching for an Ashland, Ky man and his brother who have not been heard from since they began a hunting trip last month.

According to KUSA –TV in Denver and the Kalamazoo County, Michigan Sheriff's Office, 43-year old Charles "Mike" Boso III of Kalamazoo, Mich. and his brother, 32-year old William "Mark" Boso of Ashland, Ky., left the Kalamazoo area for a hunting trip in the Meeker, Colorado area on October 30.

According to the sheriff's office, the brothers were in the Meeker area around 7:30 a.m. on Oct. 31.

The men were supposed to return to Kalamazoo on Nov. 7. However, no one has heard from them since a 10 a.m. phone call to family members on Oct. 31.

A search and rescue team from the Rio Blanco Colorado Sheriff’s Office has been doing an air search for the men.

Friends of Mark tell WSAZ.com that the brothers were in Colorado to hunt elk. They say his last credit card purchase was on November 1 at gas station in Meeker.

We’re also told that Mark’s wife is now in Colorado to help in the search.

We've also learned the brothers are originally from Pt Pleasant, W.Va.

Keep clicking on WSAZ.com for the latest information.

According to police, the brothers were traveling in a maroon 2000 Ford F-350 with an extended cab. It has Michigan license 7JF-L43.

Anyone with information about the hunters' whereabouts is asked to call the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office at 269-383-8821.

To all of the people that have been laid off or lost their jobs, I feel your pain. I lived in the northern panhandle and worked at Weirton Steel for almost 30 years when corporate greed bankrupted the company and we all lost our jobs. You will all be in my prayers and may God help find employment for all those that suffered the effects of corporate greed. For those CEO's out there, I hope that when you sit down to Thanksgiving Dinner and gather around the Christmas Tree you think of all of those that you put out of work so that you can have your bonuses and golden parachutes. I hope that someday the working class men and women can return the favor and put you in the street to scratch for a living. All of the money in the world won't protect you on Judgement Day and then you will pay for your "Corporate Greed".

God really watched over these men. He answered everyone's prayer. If these men didn't have strong faith they probally would have never made it. But, because of one choice in there lives they believed. Thank God for that. I send my love to the family. God Bless you all.

Posted by: butterfly on Nov 12, 2008 at 11:42 PM
so happy for this family. prayers are answered but not always to our liking. but most of all you must have faith. so anon. prayer is needed everywhere and especially here in the USA. what does it hurt, it makes a better person if one has faith.

Posted by: Curry on Nov 12, 2008 at 07:05 PM
Mike, So glad you guys are alright. I hope that the person who has ill will towards God's blessings in individuals lives, doesn't ruin the awesome blessing that people are recieving from this story. Also, to "Anon", I hope you live the example you are attempting to set here and never eat food again, sending all your food, and opportunities over to African children. Please stop hating, if you have nothing nice to say, just let it go.

Posted by: anon on Nov 12, 2008 at 02:36 PM
I think that is rude...God has a plan for everyone and god had in mind to have these people as his angels. And furthermore I think that the people in Africa could do better and we do help them so whats your problem.......

Please write back and tell me how GOD has a reason and how he must have a bigger purpose for them...LMAO

Finally - a story with a happy ending!!!
Posted by: Dean on Nov 12, 2008 at 07:51 AM
Sounds like to me the professionals took the right approach-rather than send a bunch of folks into the woods (risking their lives) let's give the hunters (who everyone claimed were expert outdoorsmen) time to find their own way out. Sometimes it is amazing what we can accomplish if we let the people who are trained to do a job (in this case Search & Rescue) do their job instead of reacting off emotions. There was no way to search the entire are these men may have been in. I am very happy to hear of the outcome. Praise God for watching over these men.
Posted by: Larry on Nov 12, 2008 at 07:50 AM
Great News !!! What a gift for this family !!!!!

To Anonymous on Nov 11 at 10:51 - Yes, it's all the Lords doing. He directs all of our paths, even those who may not serve him. He directed the locals to help and to search in certain areas. Yes, all the glory goes to Him, not to man.
Posted by: skilletlady on Nov 11, 2008 at 11:54 PM
To anonymous: Actually the searchers had not started yet. They were scheduled to start tomorrow morning. Mark and Mike were able to come out on their own (with the help of God of course).
Posted by: Melissa B. on Nov 11, 2008 at 11:46 PM
Wow - What an indescribable blessing! I know God is Good and I know God is GREAT, and I hope everyone is praising His Wonderful name for all the great blessings He has granted. I want to thank all who have prayed for these two men and their families... and I hope the same zeal for those who are lost in this world will show through your lives. It is truly a way to think of someone who does not know our Lord and Savior coming into the clearing of finding Him. To me this means so much more but I hope others can understand the way this can represent the cleansing of sin that God provides. I truly want to thank Kim and her family for helping me and I am thankful for this answer to prayer. I am a penpal to one of the daughters and to her I want to say "I love you and I am glad your daddy is coming home." I will write to you again soon.

I got lost in rocky mountain national park in 1971 it took me 2 days to walk out and that was in good weather . People who go to colorado dont understand how quick things can change .I had a house in southern colorado at 7200 feet elevation on may 20th it was 65 degrees warm and sunny ,a day later it was 15 degrees with 30 inches of snow .I had to dig my truck and camper out of a drift of 5 feet that the wind piled up and I was stupid enough not to bring warm clothes .The one sure thing about colorado is the unpedictable weather , high up close to tree line more that half the trees are burned from lightning strikes . These guys are so lucky to have gotten out , I bet they will never get caught again like this when they go elk hunting .
Posted by: anon-1 on Nov 11, 2008 at 09:11 PM
If they were also lost, a handheld GPS would be a great thing to have. I have a GPS that also leaves "breadcrubs" or "tracks". So I can track my path back to the original point if I ever get lost.

Posted by: Concerned on Nov 11, 2008 at 06:54 PM
Lori - For you and anyone else who also thinks this needs national attention, do what I did and email every major news network, and every contact at those networks. When they finally get enough emails, I believe one of them will get the ball rolling. Also, many of the local affiliates have national contacts so voice your concern with them as well. There's not much we can do, but this is something that may be helpful!!

Posted by: Lori on Nov 11, 2008 at 06:17 PM
I just checked back on second free will's website and it says that Donelle is encouraged by the outpour of concern across the area and that due to this pressure Col. authorities are organizing some type of search for tomorrow. Let's pray for good weather so they can come home soon!
Posted by: Lori on Nov 11, 2008 at 05:34 PM
How can someone go about contacting national news like Greta and Nancy? It seem to me Col. doesn't quite see the urgency of the situation. These guys need to be back with their families fast and that can only happen if there is more attention provided and pressure placed on authorities in Col. Kim and the girls- My prayers are with and your family. You all know you are greatly loved and everybody will do anything they can to help in this trying time. Keep the Faith!!

I do not think the news people have much more to report. Please read the last update on Mark's church website at www.secondfreewill.com. That is where I have been checking to see the latest updates. The updates are coming directly from Mark's wife. Kim and girls, we have many prayer chains going here in Point. Lean on God for all your strenghth. He will get you through this time.

I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but the report that they found the truck is innacurate. It was probably a miscommunication. For updates from Mark's wife go to www.secondfreewill.com it's under the what's happening tab in the news section

  • Posted By: Ari: Cheers to Rob-I feel ya!
  • Posted By: joe: I have worked for companies all over this nation and have had to take drug tests. Why should teachers be exempt from this practice? It is now common to be randomly tested(and I have been) so what makes a teacher any different than a steel worker. I can say proudly that I passed but I have seen those who didn't. They chose to use drugs and lost their jobs I didn't.
  • Posted By: Katy: As a teacher, I have no problem being randomly drug tested...as long as you agree to drug test the parents who enter the doors of my school as well. Most teachers deal with students who are exposed to/use more drugs and alcohol than any of the teachers. If these students or parents who are using drugs (and are not drug tested) enter our schools, the safety of the teachers and students are at risk. Since children spend more time with them, let's randomly drug test PARENTS, too!!!
  • Posted By: stephen: Why the heavy emphasis ont he damage to property and life Israel is doing . Where was the media uproar for years that Hamas was rocketing Israel irespective of innocent israelis.. Hamas is actualykilling their own citizens by firing rockets from UN schools and residents. Why does UN allow Hamas to use facilities for attacking Israel, then complain when Israel responds to protect their territory and citizens. Israel targets military targets, respons to from whence rockets or gun fire comes. What would we fire at if Huntington was attacked?Why does the media not put bla,e where balame belongs, and give moral support to the aggreived.What would America do if attacked? to whom would we listen? Russia, Saudi Arabia,Iran?.Media get REAL! Who has given Hamas and the Palestinians millions with which they could buy weapons---American taxpayers money!
  • Posted By: Robert: Although I feel for the employees that lost their positions at Cabell Huntington Hospital, at least more nurses were hired. I recently had a relative in the cardiac unit at Kings Daughters, in Ashland, and I was told that the nursing staff had been cut back and that no overtime was being given. This seems to be a drastic cut in patient care for a facility that spends thousands advertising that they are in the top 5% of cardiac hospitals in the country. I would be willing to wager that the Cleveland Clinic has not cut hours of those giving patient care.
  • Posted By: Boyd: If the state's budget is doing so well, why don't we use some of this money to help towns and cities in the state who are in trouble with their budget, or will this just become another pay raise for politicians?
  • Posted By: Rob: Why does everyone have to be so into using the term "racist" and have that kind of attitude. I know what my heritage is and who my ancestors were but you want to know what I consider myself? I AM AN AMERICAN! I was born and raised in this country and that's how I feel it should be. Born here, raised here.....then by God you are an American. Not an African American, not an Asian American etc. etc. You are an AMERICAN!
  • Posted By: Chris: To Ex-Officer: I agree with you 100% about the pay of police dept and the drug testing. I was formerly involved with the BCPD and had multiple ride alongs with the BCSO. I am probably one of their biggest critics due to having watch some of the bad side of the department for a long time. I wish that I could tell everything that I have seen officers do,which would put most of them behind bars or they'll lose their sheild, But retalliation is bad in our area. To the cops that do their job and do it with the best intentions, I proud of you and don't mean any disrespect. To the ones who I personally watch being more currupt then the "badguys" here,your day will be coming.
  • Posted By: Pablo: Teachers aren't the only ones underpaid. Law enforcement officers are underpaid also. And I'd like to speak about them. For example, I'm sure any parent would sacrifice their live for thier children. And several may give thier live to save their spouse. A few individuals may even do it for a close friend. But, I only know of 3 types of beings who will sacrifice thier lives for complete strangers; indeed even for people who hate them. The first would be our men and women in our armed forces. The second would be our law enforcement officers. And of course, third would be our Savior, Jesus Christ. Others are killed in the line of their employment, but not in order to save a complete stranger. Everytime a cop puts on his/her uniform, they can be a target for anyone upset about something. Even though it doesn't involve the cop personally, that very cop will give his life to save yours when a problem arises. We need to give our cops not only a wage, but a living wage and a great big THANKS.
  • Posted By: Craig: If what I am hearing is correct that Kanawha County teachers accepted a pay raise in return for submitting to drug testing, and then sued successfully so they do not have to be subject to testing, then why shouldn't we the taxpayers demand they return the raise?
  • Posted By: teresa: racist lmao i am one cherokee,german,irish,german,and who knows what else TIRED of hearing of racist comments u are either GOOD OR BAD k no skin color needed just evil or NOT
  • Posted By: Ex-Officer: I agree with Robert 100% I worked in law enforcement and loved the job but try to rise a family on less than 10.00 an hour (out of that pay for your own duty gear and gun). I believe that all public safety workers should be drug tested but i also believe that they should be paid for the job that they do. Not many people understand what a public safty worker goes through. Would you put your life on the line for this kind of pay? Remember the saying that you get what you pay for. I see this in several new officers in my area. Don't get me wrong there are still very good officers in law enforcement. Something really needs to be done about the low pay for these jobs.
  • Posted By: Garland: What's the difference between teachers and other workers(coal mineers, bus drivers, state employees,etc.)? Teachers aren't any better are they?
  • Posted By: : This is not a comment, but I would like comments on it please. What do you think of Poca High School? Racist or not?
  • Posted By: Robert: We the people, through our own self centeredness and apathy, have allowed our teachers and police officials to be some of the most underpaid people in the United States. We are trusting our childrens education and our public safety to the very people that are some of the most underpaid profesions in the U.S.. If I could change this, I would. However, I do believe that these people should be randomly drug tested. I work in the construction industry and I have no problem being drug tested. I have nothing to hide. I also believe that any person who is intrusted with the safety of others should have nothing to hide. This includes plitical officials up to and including the president.
