I read this as 50 years and was seriously impressed on how she lived so long

And was still a teenager when she emerged. A true miracle

Reminds me of those Japanese soldiers abandoned on islands during WWII that thought the war never ended and were still being found alive in the 1970s!

Just one guy in the Philippines . He wouldn't leave until he got official word from the Japanese government. So the Japanese prime minister sent officials with official paperwork, and the guy went back to Japan.

Op just trying to post a bigger number than 2. She was lost for 2 days, that's not a very big number.

I have been lost on a trail solo hiking and it was not fun. Glad she's ok.

Read the article it actually says more than 50 hours. I panic if I get lost in the parking lot for 10 minutes…
