The Shadow
GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) – A Nevada couple traveling through Eastern Oregon are safe at home after spending three days stuck in snow because their SUV’s navigation system sent them down a remote forest road.
Klamath County Sheriff Tim Evinger says after the couple got stuck on Christmas day, atmospheric conditions apparently changed enough for their cell phone to get a weak signal and relay GPS coordinates to a Klamath County dispatcher.
They were rescued Sunday afternoon when a deputy reached them and winched their vehicle out of the snow.
The names of the couple were not immediately available.
Evinger says they are now home safe in Reno.
