INVERNESS, Calif. — A couple who went missing in the woods of Northern California for a week survived by drinking from a muddy puddle and eating fern fronds, said rescuers who had given up hopes of finding them alive.
The Marin County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Sunday that the couple was not ready for interviews, but that they were in “amazing spirits and expressed gratitude to everyone.” Kiparsky and Irwin were last seen Feb. 14 at a vacation cottage near Inverness, a town at the foot of the bay. The couple from Palo Alto never checked out the next day as planned and failed to show up for an appointment on Feb. 16.
Story continues“They found themselves on their hands and knees, crawling, off the trail in the brush,” and became mired in thickets of coyote brush, blackberry vines and poison oak, St. John said. A day earlier in Marin County, rescuers Webster and Cassens, a 51-year-old dog handler from the California Rescue Dog Association, headed to a drainage area close to a beach.
