Search and rescue workers have found two kayakers missing in the Trammel and Drakes Creek area of Warren County.  Alexandra Wright and Luke Aldridge, both 20 and from Louisville, were among a group of kayakers who set out Tuesday afternoon.  Kentucky State Police began a search Tuesday night after another couple they were kayaking with capsized and feared the same thing happened to their friends.  Wright and Aldridge said they didn't even know people were looking for them.  They were found Wednesday morning by a farmer near Trammel Creek.  The pair said they decided to camp out on the creek bank when it started getting dark.
