Page 2 March 16, 2 006 Spilyay Tymoo, Wa^m Springs, Oregon 2 cold nights in the woods B y D ave M cM echan Spilyay Tymoo Sandra Brunoe spent three days and two cold and difficult nights in the woods recently. Brunoe is a timber sales of ficer at Warm Springs Forestry. She was out in the woods on March 2, m arking trees for a 2007 timber sale. She was working in an area away from where her partner Jo h n G o erin g w as m arkin g trees. Brunoe became confused about her location and could not locate either Goering or their vehicle: G o erin g search ed for Brunoe, and then reported her missing. Forestry personnel and Warm Springs Search and Res cue looked for Brunoe through the first night, but could not lo cate her. Search and R escue team s from neighboring communities were called in, and at one point there were 90 people looking for Sandra Brunoe her. An Oregon National Guard Blackhawk helicopter was called in. Brunoe said the helicopter flew over her a few times but the people on board did not see her. Finally, on Saturday, March 4, a w om an from M arion County Search and Rescue lo cated Brunoe in a canyon about three-quarters of a mile from a roadway. Brunoe was back at work as usual the following week, hav ing experienced no injury. Brunoe has worked at For estry since 1984, and this is the first time something like this happened, she said. D uring the nights in the woods, she slept very litde, be cause of the cold. Luckily, she was dressed for cold weather, though not quite for the kind of cold she experienced during those nights. There was a moon out dur in g the n ig h ts, and B runoe mostly kept moving. She stayed pretty hungry as well, but found water in a creek. Brunoe said she would like to thank Forestry, Warm Springs Search and Rescue, the other agencies that assisted, and also the w om an from M arion County Search and Rescue who located her.
