KALISPELL, Mont. -- A 67-year-old Montana man stuck on a remote mountain road says he was preparing himself for death. But after four days a Coeur d'Alene couple came to his rescue.
Louis Rogers says he left Montana's Flathead region last Thursday to make a trip to Calder, Idaho. He decided to take the remote Gold Creek Road near St. Regis, Montana. The road got too snowy for Rogers' Cadillac so he decided to turn around, and got stuck in a snowbank.
Rogers says he has health problems and decided to wait for help. He survived on melted snow. He says he thought he was going to die, and even wrote a goodbye letter.
On Sunday Coeur d'Alene couple Scott and Penny Kalis came by in their four-wheel drive vehicle and brought him back to civilization and food.
