Great work to the Clackamas Deputies for rescuing the family. As Ross Clemson mentioned, please research before adventuring out to the mountains where it's still snowing even though the seasons have changed. Please check the weather, and pack an emergency essentials bag like a warm blanket and water for example. We hope the family is doing well and let this be a reminder to others to ALWAYS BE PREPARED! More importantly, please be safe out there!
