(Lost 18 year old found in the desert)…Officials say Joseph Tyler Shirley was riding his ATV near the Gordon Well area at around 3:00 Saturday afternoon. The 18 year old apparently ran out of gas, and tried to walk back to his camp. He became lost in the desert. Border Patrol agents were notified. They found the man about 8 hours later. He reportedly walked for about five hours, with no food or water. He was discovered at around 1:00 Sunday morning. Other than being a bit dehydrated, the man appeared to be in good condition.
