There is a happy ending in the search for a missing man in Northern Saskatchewan.

Twenty-eight year old Albert Justin Custer was located safe and sound today, said RCMP in a news release.

Custer went missing on Tuesday. He was picking mushrooms with some of his family members near Deschambault Lake.

At one point the group became separated and Custer was left alone. The group returned to their vehicles when they saw a storm coming in, but Custer was no where to be found.

RCMP say Custer became disoriented in the woods and was walking north on highway 106. He was picked up by a traveler and taken to a lodge.
