I stay far away from anything with a chewed-on apple on it.
Android is the right path to go.

For discussion regarding Android vs Apple, I refer you to the Deteriorating Signal to Noise Ratio thread.

She and the baby are lucky to be alive. What is interesting is that depending on the news source, the stories don't all match up (guess that's not surprising really). Still, things sound a little fishy. Especially since the USFS is apparently investigating the fire.

Some articles say she was walking around a casino trying to induce labor -- but the baby was born premature. Different articles state she was trying to find a back road to her home. Other stories say she was looking for the road to her parents' place. And still other reports say she was looking for another casino to visit.

Oddly, the mother of this lady didn't bother to contact the police about her pregnant daughter who had been missing for days, but instead took to Facebook in her search. Yet another head-scratcher.

From the A.P. article:

"U.S. Forest Service spokesman Chris French said Tuesday that a helicopter pilot responding to a brush fire Saturday first spotted a mother and an infant. Rescue workers on the ground whisked the pair to safety and they were taken to a hospital, French said.

French said the cause of the fire is under investigation.

'I cannot confirm the day of birth beyond that she reported to us she had been there for three days,' French said. 'Also, her statement to us was that she gave birth at her vehicle within the forest. We did not witness the birth.'"

Some years ago a partially blind hiker did this same thing to get found. It worked.
