BAKER CITY OR - A 76-year-old woman was found alive in the mountains Thursday, nearly two weeks after she disappeared while on a hunting trip with her husband, authorities said.
Ora Doris Anderson had suffered a hip injury and was dehydrated, but she was conscious and alert, the Baker County Sheriff's Office said. A helicopter team went to the scene to extricate her from the rugged terrain, and she was to be airlifted to a Boise, Idaho, hospital.
Authorities had largely given up hope of finding Anderson, who was lightly dressed in an area where temperatures had tipped into the 30s over the past two weeks. About 70 volunteers a day combed the Wallowa Mountain of Eastern Oregon until the search was scaled back in late August.
Anderson, who goes by Doris, had last been seen Aug. 24 in the Eagle Creek area, where she had gone bow hunting with her 74-year-old husband, Harold. Full Story - Video - Sport Truck Magazine - Discount Cigarettes - David's Cookies
