A remote part of Garfield County she stayed overnight with no problem but the next day she broker lay.
I was working my way back to where the trail head was and I jumped to about three or four feet.
And there was a rock under the sand and it hit -- -- and I had a broken leg -- my -- went this way so Blaine Neal is right here.
But my foot -- it that way.
Using a walking stick Grover created a makeshift splits and crawled thirty yards to see -- creek she found water.
But had no food or shelter -- and another big problem.
Her main issue I think was a -- -- hypothermia was certainly could have died at their because the last night I know I was very hypothermic because I stopped shivering.
The 59 year old woman slept in the day and built fires at night.
Battling hallucination as she prayed rescuers were forever -- -- that I would be found me and I also was.
