Texas couple survives being stranded 6 days in rural Utah

A Texas couple who set out for a day trip to Lake Powell while on vacation in southern Utah ended up narrowly surviving six harrowing days stranded on a rocky, desolate dirt road that was impassable in their rental car, authorities said Friday.

Helena Byler, 78, was found lying on the road October 2 by a rancher who happened to be checking on his cattle in the area of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Kane County Chief Deputy Alan Alldredge said.

She was confused and severely dehydrated.

Could have been much worse. They could have been stranded in urban California

They wouldn't have made it for 6 hours in Baltimore.
