Tiffany Slaton, a 27-year-old bikepacker from Georgia, was found safe after being missing for nearly a month in the Lake Huntington region of California. She was located in an unlocked cabin, part of Vermilion Valley Resort, after the road was snowplowed. The owner of the cabin recognized her and provided immediate assistance. Slaton had survived through a blizzard before reaching the cabin and expressed relief upon being rescued. After a medical evaluation, she was found to be healthy despite mild dehydration, and authorities plan to interview her about her experience.
"She pops out, didn't say a word, just ran up and all she wanted was a hug," Gutierrez said upon finding Slaton.
Slaton had said before her trip that Mono Hot Springs was a destination of hers. Lake Edison is just north of the springs.
Gutierrez said he kept the cabin unlocked exactly for situations such as this, so that lost people could have shelter.
Slaton was found in an unlocked cabin near Lake Edison. The road leading to the cabin had just been snowplowed, finally allowing access.
