Search and Rescue crews were able to find a missing McCleary woman safe on her property Thursday morning.
Karen Grygorcewicz, 63, went for a walk on her property about 5 p.m., Wednesday, Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Dave Pimentel said. She wandered off the trail, picking mushrooms and was unable to find the trail again. A search began about 6 p.m.
At 4 a.m. the state was called in. Responders from Thurston, Lewis, Kitsap and Pierce counties joined the search including five canine teams. About 9 a.m., a local team found Grygorcewicz. They carried her out of the wooded area on a board, where she was treated by medics and released to her family.
She told her rescuers she tried to stay warm overnight by curling up in a hollow log and stuffing moss in her shoes.
