Family gets lost in a corn maze, calls 911 for help

The impenetrable maze of maize.
Having lived in the country for many years, I know a little something about corn. Sure, it can grow pretty tall, but I can honestly say that I have never been lost in a corn field. Now, take a family of city slickers and plant them in the middle of a corn maze. You might as well drop them in the middle of the Gobi Desert.

On Monday, a couple and their two children stopped by Connors Farm in Danvers, Massachusetts, and ventured into the corn maze. That was the last anyone ever heard from them...until 6:32 pm, when the family called 911 to report that they were lost.

An officer arrived on the scene and joined the farm's manager to search for the family. They were found in less than 10 minutes, only 25 feet from the street.

So far the police have not released the name of the family. I'm sure they appreciate that.
