15-Year-Old Girl Gets Lost on Snowmobile Trip in Gem State
Living in Idaho in winter means there are many activities to enjoy. Snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. Depending on which part of Idaho you are in, these activities are how many prefer to enjoy the weekends. If someone visits Idaho in the winter, odds are they will want to give one of these a try. When trying snowmobiling, it can be fun, but it is important to keep track of where you are going and how to get back. This past weekend when snowmobiling a 15-year-old girl got lost at Island Park, when out snowmobiling with her friend, but she didn't return that evening.
Teen Lost on Snowmobile Trip in Eastern Idaho
Yazmin Rodriguez, a 16-year-old girl from Pocatello was on a birthday trip this last weekend when she and a friend decided to go snowmobiling in the evening on Friday. She was still 15 years old at the time, and during the ride lost sight of her friend. Her snowmobile tipped over, and after attempting and failing to get it upright once again, decided to walk back. She got lost in the process, and with it getting dark had to get shelter and warmth for the night. Luckily, she found a locked cabin and was able to break in, where she was able to get a blanket and a small fire started to keep her warm.

She went back and left a note on the snowmobile, before returning to the cabin where she found some food and decided to sleep for the night. Just before midnight a search party found the cabin and woke up Rodriguez by banging on the door. She had been missing for close to six hours before she was found. What turned into a scary birthday trip, ended up with a story that the Rodriguez family will never forget, especially Yazmin.

When out snowmobiling this winter, make sure to stay near your partner, and if you lose sight of them backtrack and yell for them to make sure they are safe. If it is beginning to get dark or the conditions are foggy, it is best to not get on a snowmobile at that time.
