A woman who went missing at a campsite near the California-Nevada border was found alive Monday after four days of intense searching through rough and remote terrain.

Sheryl Powell, 60, of Huntington Beach, California, was reported missing by her husband Friday afternoon at the Grandview Campsite near Bishop, California, according to the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office. Powell’s husband, Joe, said his wife and their dog went missing while he was moving their car, and called the police through a satellite phone after searching for her for an hour.

Police began searching with aerial assistance and thermal imaging. The search then expanded throughout the weekend with help from multiple different police departments.

“Challenges include multiple gullies, shale slopes, low shade, direct sun, and rattlesnakes,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Authorities said Sheryl Powell was found alive by a search team near the Montenegro Springs area, not far from where her dog was found earlier Monday.
