A 28-year-old Georgian girl who disappeared in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains has stunned government and her home with a success story that has been deemed “movie-worthy,” according to the New York Times. After surviving 24 weeks alone in the snowy hills of California, Tiffany Slaton, a traveling treatment tech and outdoor lover, was found healthy. Slaton’s trip began as a brief three-day single camping excursion near Shaver and Huntington Lakes, but it eventually turned into a battle for her life that sent her more than 40 miles off the beaten path all the way to Vermilion Valley Resort. Tiffany experienced 13 snowfalls, an avalanche, and a major rock fall while she was out in the wild. She misplaced her bicycle, camp, and most of her belongings. The journey began on April 20 and quickly turned quite difficult. Two sleeping bags and a camp were brought with her electric vehicle and camping equipment. She fell off a cliff early on, and she lay incapacitated for about two days. According to NBC News, when she woke up, she made a cuff for one foot and “popped the other hip back into place.” She couldn’t get any signal, and the camera’s image wasn’t working. She repeatedly attempted to dial 911, but few succeeded. She also called her phone to ask where the closest Starbucks was, which said 18 miles away at one place. Her relatives reported her missing on April 29, and a massive search that spanned almost 600 square kilometers ensued. Local officials and volunteers traveled more than 4, 000 miles by base and by car overall. A helicopter was also in use, but no one’s record of her was discovered until this year. Slapton remained alive by consuming exotic onions and converting snow into water. Additionally, she used vine and pine needles to make drink each day. She journaled in a journal every day to maintain herself quiet. Vermilion Valley Resort, a beach frequently obliterated by snow and strong in the Sierra Mountains, was suddenly reached by her. In situation lost climbers need a place to stay, the hotel owner keeps it that way because the house she found was unlocked. Slaton described the instant she saw the house as” I thought I had somehow managed to make it to the North Pole.” The resort owner arrived the following day, just before her 28th birthday, and she discovered a sleeping bag inside. She described it as” the best sleeping bag I had ever seen.” The streets had only just been cleared. He said,” She pops out, doesn’t say a word, just ran up, and all she wanted was a hug.” That’s when I realized who this was. She reportedly told NBC News that her parents Bobby,” I’m dead and I’m sorry,” when he was quoted as saying. According to Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni,” Those prayers were answered,” and she was one of the stories that” they would create videos about.” She is a warrior, according to his coworker Tony Botti. She won’t give up, she says.
