If you visit one of those corn mazes so popular in the fall, be sure to take your phone.
A Massachusetts family got lost in a 7-acre maze, and as evening approached they decided to get help and called 911, according to an Oct. 12, 2011, AP story. The report indicated, “A police officer and his dog entered the maze with a farm manager on Columbus Day to search for the disoriented father, mother and two children, including a 3-week-old infant. The family didn’t realize they had almost made their way out and were just 25 feet from the street.
“It took the search party about 10 minutes to find the family. They were helped by a police dispatcher who stayed on the phone with the caller and asked the couple to yell for help to enable those looking for them to identify their location.”
