SHS graduate competes on reality show 'Alone'

The first time Jordan Jonas felt truly alone, he was on a freight train as it whipped across the U.S. At 19, the Athol native and then-recent North Idaho College graduate had hopped a train with his older brother to ride the rails and see where they would take them. The siblings went from Idaho to Chicago, to the East Coast and, eventually, Virginia where Jonas’s brother ended up staying. Jonas made the trip back to the Northwest on his own, staring out at the country through a freight door.
