TROUT LAKE, Wash. — Search and rescue teams have found the 87-year-old Oregon woman who went missing Thursday while picking huckleberries near Trout Lake in southwest Washington.
The Skamania County sheriff’s office says the woman was spotted Sunday morning by a search crew flying over the Sawtooth Berry Fields. She is being brought out on horseback and officials say she appears to be in good condition.
The sheriff’s office says Wasco Fujiwara, of The Dalles, was picking huckleberries with her daughter Thursday when the two became separated.
Lisa Fujiwara last saw her mother around 1:30 p.m. near Forest Road 24. When she returned to the area, she could not find her mom. The elderly woman was found about 2 miles southeast of the place where her daughter last saw her. She was spotted sitting on a log and waving to the airplane.
