BTW, CR204 goes east to west off US 301 just north of Oxford. Just north of that big nursery on the west side of 301. I note you live in Summerhill. The authorities probably drew a circle of possible locations and that circle included Summerhill.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

BTW again, I would be happy to receive an early morning call if it meant it could help someone in distress.

I agree 100% that helping someone is a priority and that is one of the reasons we requested to be added to the notification phone calls. I guess I should explain that I don't feel a call in the middle of the night to say the young boy was located was necessary. Since you sound like your someone in authority I would like to suggest you rethink the process. A telephone call in the middle of the night, in my opinion, a persons first thought would be a family member is in distress. Reverse 911 is an excellent idea but might need some tweeking. Of course, I am a lay person and not in law enforcement so I will defer to the experts.
