Glow of iPod leads searchers to lost mushroom picker
Story Updated: Nov 18, 2006 at 5:53 PM PST By Associated Press CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - An iPod glowing in the middle of the night from thick underbrush led rescuers to a mushroom picker lost in the woods.
The search leader said Pini Nou, 25, was on his first outing and got separated from his mother, an experienced mushroom hunter.
At nightfall, she called Benton County authorities for help.
Peggy Peirson, acting county emergency management coordinator, said Nou used his cell phone to describe the landscape to rescuers as best he could in the darkness.
They finally located the Vancouver, Wash., man after 1 a.m. Friday when a member of a search and rescue team saw the light from the iPod, she said.
Nou, lacking a flashlight, had been using the music device for light, Peirson said.
She said the underbrush was so thick it took rescuers more than 20 minutes to reach Nou once they saw the glow.
Pierson said he was lightly dressed, and Nou said he was cold and tired and had aching feet.

The only impression that I got from this story is that this fellow doesn't sound like what you'd call a 'he-man.'
Wondering if this little feller may still need to be on that kid leash?
Ezekiel 7:3 - Koulye a, sa fini nèt pou nou! Mwen pral move sou nou, paske mwen pral pini nou pou tou sa nou fè. Mwen pral fè nou peye pou tout vye bagay derespektan n'ap plede fè devan je mwen.
English:
Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
You can make lots of money picking mushrooms in the Pacific North West some years and some years you can't...
Yes, it certainly does.
Just think, any children who hear of this will be saying
"but mom, dad you have to buy me an iPod. It might save my life!!"
