It had already been four days since anyone had heard from Joe Jouret’s 81-year-old brother. His departure down a mountain pass in California was followed by a series of winter storms in the area, and a search and rescue operation began.
After almost a week, an H80 search helicopter spotted what looked like a “rock” half-buried in snow. Alive in his Ford Focus, hand out of his window, Jouret’s brother was waving.
