From TheDailyStar.com:
Butternuts (NY) – A Unadilla woman and a toddler likely owe their lives to Gilbertsville Fire Department Chief Dave Robinson for getting his coat.
Robinson said Tuesday that he was headed out to hunt Sunday when he realized he needed to return home to get his coat. On his way back down Lilley Hill Road in the town of Butternuts at 12:41 p.m., Robinson said, he noticed swerve marks heading off the road and down into a steep, heavily wooded ravine.
After making his way down what Robinson estimated to be about a 60-foot ravine, he said he saw an abandoned Jeep in the stream bed, with two car seats inside. Robinson contacted fire control, he said, and followed tracks into the four-mile-deep woods.
After about three quarters of a mile, Robinson said he heard the voice of a woman and began calling out to her, instructing her to walk back toward his voice.
Danielle M. Fink, 25, was carrying a small child and was extremely disoriented, Robinson said. He said Fink didn’t remember anything other than getting out of her Jeep.
