Miyuki Harwood was hiking in California when she left her hiking group to head back to camp to get some more water. On her way back, she slipped and fell, breaking her leg. For nine days she struggled for survival in the Sierra Nevada, eduring frigid nighttime temperatures. If she had not found a stream for water or the shelter she found for the nights, she wouldn't have survived. Her hiking group noticed she was missing, and called in a huge search group to look for her. When they found her, she was exhausted and extremely grateful to be found. She got a warm welcome from her rescuers and was taken to the hospital.
I am very happy that she was able to find temporary shelter and water so that she was able to survive. I wish that in the future hikers would be more careful, and not separate from the hiking group alone, but rather have someone with you. I am pleased with how efficient the rescuers were and how seriously they took the matter, and I hope that other rescuers are as successful as these were.
