Rugged terrain hampers search for missing SD teen



     RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Authorities are continuing to search for a South Dakota teenager who went missing while kayaking, but they are using fewer people to comb the area around Deerfield Lake in the Black Hills.
 
     Officials with the Pennington County Search and Rescue Team say that searching is proving difficult because of the rugged terrain.
 
     Fifteen-year-old Justin Lewis went missing Monday afternoon. Searchers found his kayak filled with water the next morning. About 100 people have been involved in the search for him the past couple of days. Authorities also have used a boat equipped with sonar to scan the bottom of the lake.
