Columbia Valley RCMP found a couple and their dog who were lost in the remote B.C. wilderness for a week.
Damon Brodeur, 24, Catherine Gibbons, 22, and their dog Koa were found safe after losing contact with friends and family on Oct. 24.
Columbia Valley RCMP found out the two were missing on Wednesday. The couple had gone camping when the trip went awry.
Police say a RCMP aircraft found Gibbons’ silver 2004 Hyundai Sante Fe at Quin Creek Forest Service Road in the Rocky Mountains east of Wasa, B.C.
RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said the SUV was “notably stuck in a creek crossing filled with snow and ice.”
The RCMP released photos showing the stranded couple had written “HELP” in the snow by the stuck vehicle. The also put an arrow in the snow pointing the way to a nearby cabin they were living in for several days with their dog.
Police say as a precaution the two were taken to hospital but were “in good spirits”.
Brodeur’s mother was thrilled when she got the great news they were safe.
