Missed text message, but not missing
A man called Flathead County Sheriff’s Office when his daughter, 27, who is on a 21-day hike with her dog in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, failed to check in Monday. She has been texting him her GPS coordinates and updating her website daily; when she failed to do so one day, her dad got worried. Flathead County Search and Rescue was called, but by using the last coordinates the woman had sent her father, authorities determined she was actually a few miles inside the Lewis & Clark county line. Her whereabouts remained a mystery until she updated her website Monday night.
