US: GPS leads couple astray into snow storm

Monday, December 28th, 2009 @ 8:05 pm | Uncategorized

A Nevada couple travelling 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 John Rhoads and his wife, Starry Bush-Rhoads, got stuck on Christmas day, atmospheric conditions apparently changed enough for their cellphone to get a weak signal and relay GPS co-ordinates to a Klamath County dispatcher.

The couple were rescued Sunday afternoon when a deputy reached them and winched their vehicle out of the snow.

Evinger says they are now home safe in Reno, Nev.
