Very tragic, we used to get a lot of people from back east that would go hunting in the mountains and die. Seems she had no ability to even make a fire for signal? you need to have some basic preparations to be able to survive and be found... very sad.

Sad, but also stupid. If she had an operable cell phone then she had a compass. She could have shot an azimuth east. And walked instead of staying stationary. Eventually, she would have come upon a road, traveled trail, etc. apparently her thinker was broke.....

Without know all the circumstances/details .....That's a very rugged area, I'm familiar with it. The Seals use it for a base for winter survival training. IIRC, it in the area of Saddleback, near Rangeley. Wilderness.

She was 66 and hiking alone. Not a real good idea to begin with.
