Charlotte-Area Mother Found Alive In "Miracle" Mountain Rescue

Miracle Mountain

Sounds like a movie.

Wow.
Glad that they found her alive.

Kudzu could have covered up all trace of the accident in short order. If I remember correctly it grows about a foot a day.

"...Once established, these plants grow rapidly, extending as much as 20 m (60 ft) per season at a rate of about 30 cm (12 in) per day...."

Good memory.

Being from the west coast area, I have never heard of this stuff before...

My grandfather once told me that Kudzu was brought over from Asia to shore up sandy soils alongside train tracks and part of the appeal was that it grew so fast.

On the upside, you can eat several parts of the Kudzu.

I like playing my copy of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS to my Vegan friends and people who think Jack Nicholson is our greatest actor.
WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS should be required reading at the DMV. Every year we have our timeless rotation of fires and floods. And every year yet another undiscovered set of human remains is found at the bottom of a newly cleared canyon.
A whistle, portable CO 2 charged boat horn, even a PLB should be kit to anyone driving a scant few feet from Mother Nature.

Maybe she will slow down on the curves for a couple of weeks. Good thing the baby wasn't with her.

I like to tell people you never lose control of a vehicle. You just discover you didn't really have it in the first place. Sure, you might be able to take that curve at sixty miles an hour 99 times. But one day, you might have the unpleasantly sudden reminder that you should only be going forty. Staying on the road and being in control are two different things.

This includes being surprised by animals, ice, water and debris. You're either in control and able to correct, or you're not.
