They were saved by a do-gooder GPS in their phone.
The couple got trapped in the snow for three days in the Winema-Fremont National Forest after their SUV's navigator told them to follow Forest Service Road 28—35 miles down the remote road, they got stuck in a foot-and-a-half of snow. They would've frozen to death, except they had packed a bunch of winter clothes.
On the third day, the "atmospheric conditions" changed enough that their cellphone's GPS was able to put out a tiny signal that led 911 dispatchers to the couple's location.
And that's why you should still learn to navigate using the stars. [Yahoo (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091228/ap_on_hi_te/us_stranded_motorists)]
