Keewatin Woman Survives

A Keewatin woman who spent six days lost and alone in the woods of northwestern Ontario says she never gave up hope.

Valerie Cain got lost July 12th when she wanted to get a look at some rapids south of Red Lake.

She never found the rapids, andinstead got lost in the thick boreal forest with only a few cherries and crackers for food.

Cain says she found a lake at one point, and looked for any signs of civilization.

Cain built fires to stay warm and slept near the shore fora few days, figuring someone would eventually come by.

After walking toward another shore, Cain was eventually found by some cabin owners.
