Something real fishy about this story
Agree. It is being spun as a great survival story. All over Facebook about how creative and brave she is. Water, warm climate and food all around - please. Don’t go hiking alone or at least file a “flight plan” with a responsible adult. With all the drone tech today it is very hard to believe that the the searchers couldn’t find her relatively fast.
FWIW I go out on at least one SAR a year here and the folks involved almost always broke the rules of letting someone know where you intend to go or deliberately don’t want to be found.

Kid was found relatively quickly once we started looking for him.
