A woman stranded for six days in a broken-down car in a remote northern California forest survived by rationing yogurt and eating snow, authorities said. The ordeal of Sheena Gullett, 52, was detailed in a Facebook post by the Lassen county sheriff’s office. The sheriff’s office said the two tried to walk to the highway but Gullett fell behind because the soles of her boots came off. Gullett said she saw a helicopter fly overhead days before she was rescued, but that it missed her because of the thick forest, according to authorities. The sheriff’s office said she was very emotional but physically OK after rationing a six-pack of yogurt over six days and eating snow.
