GLENDALE, Ore. - Inside their snowbound RV, the family’s supplies and fuel were running low, and news reports indicated that a search for the six missing relatives had been called off.

 

“We had fuel and food but we were running short. We were rationing,” said Elbert Higginbotham, one of the missing.

 

The family decided to send two members out for help, hoping to end more than two weeks trapped in the snowy wilderness. It worked. On Tuesday, 17 days after they first vanished during a trip to the Oregon coast, they were rescued.

Doesn't say if they had one or not, but there's no reception up there anyway.

 

From the article,

 

"The area is too remote for cell phone service."
