A 73-year-old Port Orford man was found in a dense and steep patch of rugged wilderness in northern Curry County late Wednesday, three days after he went missing in the upper area of Sixes River near Star Mountain.

Sheriff John Bishop said William Cox was taken to a hospital in North Bend for medical care.

“Mr. Cox was found near the end of Forest Service Spur Road 393, off of the main 5210 road in the Sixes area,” Bishop said. “He was found about a half mile away from the point he was last seen on Sunday. He was found in an extremely dense and steep patch of forest near a camp spot he had carved out sometime Monday.”

Lack of water became a serious problem for Cox, Bishop said.

More than 30 riders attempted to stay on their bull for the full ride and while the crowd roared when riders were bucked off, they went crazy when the riders kept their seats.
