On Saturday, The Huffington Post reported that two sisters, Leslie Roy and Lee Marie, were spotted after being stranded for two weeks when they disappeared earlier this month.
"Through the days and nights while in the woods, we survived using love and hope in our families," they said in an emailed statement. "Our faith in God held our confidence that we would eventually be found. We took note of circling aircraft, available water resources, the supplies we had with us. These factors eased our mind and allowed us to stay alive for thirteen long days."

The two were trapped in snow on a quiet road until the police finally spotted them with a helicopter light. There was no cellphone service where they were located and their vehicle eventually lost power.
They reportedly wore multiple layers of clothing to stay warm, melted snow to drink and ate Girl Scout cookies and a bag of cheese puffs to survive.
"Lee and I would like to thank everyone. Friends, family, strangers from afar for all of their thoughts and prayers," they said in the statement.
Inquisitr reported that they went through eight boxes of the cookies. They were reported weak but in good condition when examined at a hospital.
They reportedly tried to call 911 multiple times with no luck. Authorities are now recommending that those exploring the remote wilderness area carry food, water and survival equipment, just in case.
