More Porsche stupidity from NorCal (and I live here) From today's SF Chronicle:

A Sacramento man and his girlfriend are happy to be alive after a Sunday afternoon drive turned into three nights stranded in their Porsche in the snow.

Mark Schroeder, 55, and Janette DeGrace, 52, didn't tell anyone where they were headed when they drove off from Sacramento heading for Uncle Tom's Cabin, a remote saloon in Placer County. They had intended to return that night.

When they were found three days later, search crews were surprised - a witness had reported seeing them Sunday at a winery near Fair Play in El Dorado County, so search efforts were focused almost 60 miles from their actual location.

The couple were rescued Wednesday afternoon and treated at a hospital in Auburn. They returned home Thursday.

Schroeder described their ordeal as terrifying.

"A lot of things go through your mind all day and all night," he said in a telephone interview. "Are you going to die? Are you going to make it?"

Schroeder's co-workers reported the couple missing after he didn't show up for work Monday. Searchers focused on El Dorado County south of Highway 50 after a woman looked at missing-person photos and reported seeing them in the area.

In fact, Schroeder and DeGrace hadn't gone to Fair Play. He had steered his Porsche 911 onto a remote road well to the north in Placer County around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, then had become stuck in a snowdrift near the bottom of a canyon. Schroeder wasn't carrying tire chains.

"It got dark really quick, so we thought we'd just stay the night," he said. But a storm that night dumped more snow on them, and their situation began to look dire.

The two had packed a couple of bottles of water, some Ritz crackers, a box of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies, trail mix, granola bars and a couple of oranges, Schroeder said.

They rationed the food over the next three days, melted snow for additional drinking water and ran the car's engine intermittently to keep warm while they waited for someone to find them. But when DeGrace began to feel the effects of missing medication she is supposed to take regularly, Schroeder decided to try to hike to where he could get cell phone reception.

"I packed some water and wrapped my feet in plastic to keep them dry - I only had tennis shoes," Schroeder said. "I figured it was now or never. If I don't make it, she won't either."

As he hiked uphill in several feet of snow for about 6 miles, Schroeder said, thoughts of his sons, Brad, 22, and Kyle, 18, kept him going.

Eventually he made it to a point called Robinson Flat where he could reach 911. A California Highway Patrol helicopter picked him up, then returned and got DeGrace.

The car remains stuck in the snow.
