Doris Anderson went bow hunting with her husband, so he wouldn't be alone. After their truck got stuck and he broke his wrist, they tried to walk out of the rugged canyons and mountains.
A hunting party stumbled across her disoriented husband, who told them his wife had headed back to their vehicle. Many rescuers had given up hope for the woman, stranded in 30-degree weather without supplies.
A 76-year-old woman missing for almost two weeks in the Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon has been found alive, the Baker County Sheriff's Office said Thursday.
Ora Doris Anderson of Sandy had a hip injury and was dehydrated when she was found just after 2 p.m. But she was conscious and alert, the sheriff's office said in a news release. A helicopter team went to extricate her from the rugged terrain, and she was airlifted to a Baker City hospital.
George Winn, the CEO of St. Elizabeth Health Services, said late Thursday that Anderson was in critical, but stable condition and was being admitted to the intensive care unit.
