Thanks to the kindness of strangers, John and Patricia Norvell of Vancouver, Wash., were safe and well Friday evening after spending four nights trapped in a snowbound car on a remote forest road south of Mount St. Helens.
"I do feel lucky," said John Norvell in an interview Saturday. "I said my prayers."
A rear wheel of the Norvells' Jeep Grand Cherokee got stuck in a ditch on a drive in the mountain snow on Monday. The couple had no food, were in a cellphone dead-zone miles from any help, and a heavy snowstorm was on the way.
Both 63 and diabetic, they stayed in the Jeep all week as 2 feet of snow blanketed their car.
