Does it say how they got to be where they were?

No, there will be another press conference in at 5pm. I know they found Katie about 1:40pm, and the trooper said they were tracking James on sno-kats..I'm hoping that means that they could see his prints in the snow.

"Does it say how they got to be where they were?"

They were found within the last couple of hours, nothing much is known. The news channels are all repeating the same stuff. They haven't even up dated their websites yet.

I read between the lines. It says, "...through a series of poor decisions and even worse luck...."

I read that they had missed their turn on what would have
been a snowy little highway anyway, en-route to a lodge before
pushing further south.

Instead of turning around, they consulted the map and saw what they thought was a shortcut. Not realizing many of those
small roads aren't plowed, they took that fateful turn.
I'd imagine their car was high centered
or stuck somehow in the deep snow. What a tragedy, but I
hope it's a warning for others planning to travel through
strange areas in bad weather conditions.

Oh, and to others who questioned the wisdom of staying with
the car rather than setting out to seek help.
Rescuers agree that it is far better to stay with the car.
In their case, many people were searching for them - and
of course we know now that the car was spotted.
It's a good idea when planning a trip in winter conditions
to always include an emergency kit. Such items as
lighters (or matches), kitty litter for traction, chains,
warm blankets, flares, and extra sealed munchies can make
all of the difference!

Be Safe All,
