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.
