Her GPS worked, however, providing directions to the nearest Starbucks, a route Slaton said was a &#8220;long, arduous journey.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After about five days, she ran out of food. Slaton, who said she is a nutritionist, recalled that she staved off hunger with wild leeks and boiled snowmelt. She made tea out of manzanita and pine needles, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The [Sierra] has a large selection of leeks that is hard to find in other places,&#8221; Slaton said. &#8220;I managed to survive off of these leeks and boiling the snowmelt for a very long period of time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Having originally set out for a camping trip, Slaton said she brought two sleeping bags and a tent. But she lost the tent and the sleeping bags at some point, leaving her with just a lighter and a knife.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m pretty good at foraging, and nature is quite terrifying, so usually once you start finding things that are scary for you, you do your best to keep moving and get over it,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The owner of Vermilion Valley Resort found her in a cabin on Wednesday. The following day, she celebrated her 28th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was the 13th heavy snowstorm I had been in,&#8221; said Slaton, who also noted that she is an archery teacher and athlete. &#8220;If he hadn&#8217;t come that day, they would&#8217;ve found my body there.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
