Being women, wouldn’t they ask for directions?
Or did the navigation system demand they turn NOW and drive into the forest?
You can’t get thair from hair. You’ll hafta go someplace else and start over. Ya heer?
Obviously they need a little more watchfulness; maybe a GPS locator on their vehicle. Also maybe one of those button things like on TV that call a service when in a predicament.
How many masks were they wearing?
If they only owned an electric car they wouldn’t had been dependent on fossil fuel!
“Searching for girlfriend. Send picture of boat…”
I can honestly say that for me, in my own car, that would merely have been a pleasant adventure.
My winter car kit is set up to easily remain comfortable for 5 days at below zero, it includes good lighting, books and entertainment, and even plenty of booze and morning coffee, car clothes, and get wet in the snow clothes and boots, etc.
They’re verrrry fortunate to even be alive.
I know that country where they were found like the back of my hand. Born, raised, hunted and fished there for years with my father as a kid. That area where they were found is outright fricken’ brutal even in the summertime. It’s the country that’s sung about in the song: “Tombstone Every Mile” song by Dick Curless....LOL.
FWIW, we still have family that live near there. Two weeks ago this past Saturday, they had a nice little 23 mph breeze straight out of the NE, -16 degrees below zero, with a -45 degree chill factor. Two 50-year old women without a clue wouldn’t last long in it. They’re lucky.
If only they had had an electric car they would not have run out of gas.
Winter camping, more fun than bowling. Better preparation is needed however.
God was certainly watching over these two ladies. Very lucky to be alive, let us give thanks for this outcome!
At very least, they are lucky the night cold didn’t get to them. No doubt, their families were going nuts, not knowing anything for that long. Aren’t there Moose and Bears in Maine?
I’m happy these poor souls were found alive, but neither one of these individuals should have a driver’s license.
I love that they got their shopping done.
Priorities!
They were found near where I live. The gas station owner is a close friend and client. Those ladies are not mentally competent enough to have a driver’s license. Maine’s foolish liberal government won’t revoke their drivers license, though.
I worked in Wyoming years ago in the oilfield. In the winter we would always have a few deaths due to exposure. A person’s car would break down and they were just a few miles from town but on a non state road normally gravel and little to no traffic. They would try to walk out and died of hypothermia. Those that lived stayed with their vehicle.
I traveled many miles off state highways when in the oilfield. I carried food, water, blankets and a sleeping bag. I never needed to use them for such. I would have survived if needed. If you want to survive, STAY IN YOUR CAR!
