Missing Pair Found On Snowy Forest Service Road

Searches have found a pair of travelers from the Seattle area that became stuck in their SUV on a Forest Service road on the way to a cabin in Glenwood and spent two nights in the snow.  The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office says 26-year-old Heidi Tran of Lynwood and 28-year-old Andy Nguyen of Seattle had been reported missing by their family on Monday.  An air search spotted the couple’s vehicle stuck in deep snow at milepost 32 on the Forest Service 23 Road north of Trout Lake.  Skamania County Search and Rescue deputies and team members used snow equipped utility terrain vehicles to reach the pair and take them back to the Trout Lake area.  They were not injured and did not require medical attention.  The Sheriff’s Office indicated they had followed directions found by computer or a navigation unit, adding people should not rely solely on computerized navigation, and if traveling on forest roads or areas that are not maintained during winter months, please consider changing your route.
