Saw this one on foxnews.com and I figured that I had to share.  Definitely a tough girl.

Snowbound ASU Student Survives 10 Days on Candy, Melted Snow

An Arizona State University student missing for 10 days survived on candy bars and melted snow for drinking water, authorities said Wednesday after the 23-year-old was found in a desolate area of east Arizona.
 
Lauren Elizabeth Weinberg, a senior at ASU, was found in southeastern Coconino County just before noon, Coconino County sheriff's spokesman Gerry Blair said. Two U.S. Forest Service employees on snowmobiles found her Wednesday about 45 miles southeast of Winslow while they were checking gates on forest roads.

Although cold, wet and hungry, Weinberg said she was "thankful to be alive," MyFoxPhoenix.com reported.
 
"I am so thankful to be alive and warm," Weinberg said in a news release from Flagstaff Medical Center. "Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers, because they worked. There were times I was afraid but mostly I had faith I would be found."
 
Weinberg, who was released from Flagstaff Medical Center early Thursday, was last seen leaving her mother's home in south Phoenix on Dec. 11 and told authorities she became stuck in the snow a day later, Blair said.

I'd lay odds that she won't turn off paved roads onto unpaved roads when there's snow on the ground . . .
