It turns out mushrooms have more risks than poison or drug use! While mushroom picking in Oregon, the three members of the Conne family and their dog Jesse got lost in the wilderness. Dan and Belinda and their 25 year old son had lost track of where they were and eventually stopped trying to find their way out of the foliage. The family was forced to sleep in the hollow of a large log with nothing to eat, and even considered sacrificing their dog for food. After six nights in the forest, they managed to use the screen of a cellphone and the blade of a knife to signal to the helicopter that found them.
"The wife had the Blackberry and I had the knife," says Dan Conne. "I kept flashing. The wife said, `You're blinding them.' But I wanted to make sure they seen us. I wasn't taking no chance."
They had five football fields from the nearest road, and only a mile from their own Jeep all along. Intelligence is questionable.
