She said they were flying in the clouds, and in an instant, it opened up and there was the mountain, and they crashed into the trees.... I can't understand how people get into such predicaments with all the available technology. An iPad with one of the aviation apps that has synthetic vision would have prevented this. Or a Garmin or other aviation handheld. The technology is out there. People just need to use it.

WA PingI listened to this story on local radio on my way to work this AM. This girl is lucky in many ways; the ability to walk, the direction she chose, the strength to keep on, the weather and more.

Seeing a mountain goat in the clouds is never a good thing.

If you’ve been to that area you know it as the Alps of the US...if the driver drove 30 miles to the Mazama Store she must have come out somewhere southwest of Rainy Pass and that is a very densely forested area
