A California mother and her nine-year-old son were rescued after being stranded for over 24 hours in the Sierra Nevada mountains. They left a trail of handwritten notes seeking help after their GPS failed and they couldn't call for assistance. The Calaveras County Volunteer Search and Rescue Team, already in the area for training, found the pair after discovering the notes. The mother, Tami, expressed relief and gratitude for the rescuers' efforts, while her son, Stirling, used his Cub Scout whistle to signal for help. The family was reunited after their vehicle was recovered.
