GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) -- Authorities say an Alabama couple following directions from a GPS device got stuck and were rescued from the snowy, mountainous backroad where a San Francisco man got lost and died in 2006.
The Curry County sheriff's office says Charles and Karen Hill of Florence, Ala., didn't know what conditions lay ahead when they tried to take the Bear Camp road through Oregon's Coast Range.
When they got stuck Thursday in their two-wheel-drive pickup truck, they used a cell phone to call for help. Rescuers got to them on four-wheel-drive vehicles and snowmobiles.
In December 2006, James Kim died after getting stuck in a storm and trying to walk for help. His wife and two daughters stayed with the vehicle and were later rescued.
