Couple stranded 3 days after GPS leads them astray

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) Klamath County Sheriff Tim Evinger says after John Rhoads and his wife, Starry Bush-Rhoads, got stuck on Christmas day, atmospheric conditions apparently changed enough for their cell phone to get a weak signal and relay GPS coordinates to a Klamath County dispatcher.

The couple were rescued Sunday afternoon when a deputy reached them and winched their vehicle out of the snow.

Evinger says they are now home safe in Reno, Nev.
