Family Survived By Singing, Drawing

Press release from Sgt. Christie Wood (pictured)/Coeur d'Alene Police Department: Coeur d’Alene Police detectives interviewed Neil and Connie Bigelow after they returned to the Coeur d’Alene residence of their grandchildren this morning. Neil stated they took a drive to the Hayden Creek area, and his vehicle became high-centered in the snow near the top of road 206. Neil said it was near dark, and he was not sure how far they were from Coeur d’Alene. They decided to wait out the night in the vehicle. Connie Bigelow sang songs with the children and helped them draw pictures. At daybreak they were able to dig themselves out and drive back to Coeur d’Alene. Detectives reported the children are in good condition and happy to be home. More here.

Question: Have you ever been lost or stranded in the woods?
