Without food, his gear soaked and fighting blizzard-like conditions, Robb Campbell knew that if he didn’t find someone, he wasn’t going to last long.
Salem Statesman JournalRob Campbell was rescued Friday by Marion County Sheriff's deputies after being stranded while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.Lost in a fierce snowstorm and wandering 7 miles from where he was supposed to be hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail in Oregon, he made a desperate call for help.
“You just know, if anything happens, I’m dead,” Campbell told the Statesman Journal Saturday. “No one’s going to find me until Spring.” The All-Seasons Motel in Detroit gave the 50-year-old from the East Coast a complimentary room Friday night and he will pay to stay there the next two nights while he recovers from his ordeal, including frostbite to his feet.
He said he was fired from a job three years ago, and in 2018 put all of his possessions into storage and hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine over a 10 month period.People he met “would have given me the shirt off their back, and that’s the community,” he said. The trail, which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service, was designated a National Trail in 1968, but not officially completed until 1993. It runs from Mexico to Canada over 2,650 miles, including the length of Oregon.
Then he stepped in a crack between boulders and to free his foot had to dig down, remove his shoe, pull his leg out and then his shoe.

New Crest Sweepstakes Offers Chance To Win 10 Million TeethGREENSBORO, NC—Urging consumers to enter now for their chance to take home the dental jackpot of a lifetime, toothpaste giant Crest announced a new sweepstakes Friday in which entrants have a chance to win up to 10 million teeth. “Shoppers have a one-in-ten chance of winning small prizes such as a full set of baby teeth, but only one lucky Crest Pro-Health sweepstakes player will walk away with the full 10 million in incisors, bicuspids, canines, and molars,” a press release from Crest read in part, noting that all prizes under 600 teeth can be redeemed instantly in any of the fine stores where Crest is sold. “The Grand Prize winner may either claim their teeth in one lump sum or receive 250,000 teeth per year for the rest of their life. The second prize is 5 million wisdom teeth, and third prize is 800,000 ceramic veneers. How would having 10 million teeth change your life? You can’t win unless you play!” Crest has thus far declined comment regarding allegations that previous winners regret their windfall, with many currently possessing even fewer teeth than before they won.
