73-year-old man stranded in remote Oregon high desert for four days with his two dogs rescued when mountain biker discovered him near death on dirt road, authorities say.
A 73-year-old man who was stranded in the remote Oregon high desert for four days with his two dogs was rescued when a long-distance mountain biker discovered him near death on a dirt road, authorities said Thursday.
"As I got closer, I thought, 'That's a funny looking cow' and then I realized that this was a man," he recalled Thursday in a phone interview. Quinones hadn't had a cellphone signal for two days, so he pressed the"SOS" button on a GPS tracking device he travels with in case of emergency. The dog may have gotten some water from mud puddles in the creek bed, Lake County Deputy Buck Maganzini said.
Randolph spent several nights in a hospital but is now home and recovering, as are his dogs. A home phone listing for him was disconnected.
