Two sisters, one from Nebraska and the other from Oklahoma, drove up into the rural Upper Peninsula of Michigan to visit family. They got stuck in snow on an unplowed road on the way up and were declared missing for almost two weeks. They survived by staying in the vehicle, bundling up, and eating Girl Scout cookies until a police helicopter spotted their Ford Explorer. Which proves an important point if you're lost and there is a good chance that someone may be searching for you - make the search easier by staying right where you are, especially if you're in a vehicle or near a landmark.
