An Indiana man lost for four days after his car became lodged in deep snow said he survived on Mountain Dew and mountain snow.
Jason Pede, 31, said he was on his way from Dulce, N.M., to Aspen, Colo., on a rescue dog delivery when his Lincoln Navigator became lodged in deep snow on a small country road off Highway 114 near Saguache, Colo., KMGH-TV, Denver, reported Monday.
Pede said he stayed in the car, surviving on a diet of Mountain Dew and snow, and found his electronic communication devices were not functioning in the weather. He said he burned small items to keep warm but eventually decided to brave the cold to search for existence.
Pede was found Sunday morning walking into Amarillo, Texas. He said he felt healthy but hungry and looked forward to reuniting with his family.
The dog, an Australian Shepherd, was found in Pede's car and taken to an Aspen vet for treatment.
Heh. Sing Armadillo “by Mornin’” with a Texas accent. ;-)
[Little old south Texas humor there.]
This story was outsourced to India.
Picking up cats in Aspen for delivery in Davenport, IA. ROTFL! There aren’t enough cats in Davenport to buy or adopt? They gotta import them?
Maybe he is a coyote for illegal pets???
I guess they need Colorado cats in Iowa, because Iowa rats have become immune to Iowa cats.
LOL Poorly written story.
Ed: How liberal is it?
Johnny: It's so liberal in Iowa even the cats are vegans.
Bet they're wondering the same thing.
Aspen cat, Davenport rat?
Yea that’s what I was thinking too, The writer of the story must have the city wrong.. there’s no way he stumbled across into Amarillo, Texas... (I do like the beaming idea though. :) )
That mouse needs some afterburners right about now.
don't know exactly where he was but I know that driving from Lubbock to Denver one can pass thru little towns in New Mexico that are 5000 feet elevation and it can get mighty bitter and windy..(Amarillo just a little north of Lubbock)
I know people who drive animals to state borders where somebody else picks them up & then takes them to another person etc. Usually animal rescues will do that. I know horse transporters but never heard of anybody doing what he does.
How do they feel about Mountain Dew?
Who, dogs, cats , horses or people? Personally I hate the stuff.
Okay this is getting funnier and funnier.
LOL :)
