WINDSOR, Calif. A lost hiker was rescued in Shiloh Park near Windsor late last night -- and she has her cell phone to thank.
After she lost her bearings, Kathy Karlen called the sheriff’s dispatcher asking for help. When the rescue helicopter approached her location after dark, they asked her point her cell phone’s lighted face toward the sky.
Using night vision goggles, the crew spotted the light -- and Karlen.
She was uninjured.
