REMOTE SECTION OF OREGON Family found after 2 weeks GLENDALE, Ore.

- A family that disappeared more than two weeks ago after leaving for a short trip in an RV was found alive in a remote area of southwestern Oregon.

Two adults were found yesterday after they left the RV, which had gotten stuck in snow, to seek help.

Hours later, rescuers located the others and they were reunited in Glendale, about 80 miles north of the California border.

"I love you, baby," Marlo Hill-Stivers told her daughter, Gabrayell, 8, as the reunion was carried live on television.

"I love you too, mommy," she replied.

Peter Stivers, resting his hands on the shoulders of his 9-year-old son, Sabastyan, said the kids had fun: "They didn't know we were in trouble." The group left Ashland on March 4, along with Stivers' mother and stepfather, for a trip across the mountains to the coast, which normally takes a couple of hours.

A relative reported them missing March 8.

Officials said the six had apparently taken a shortcut, instead of taking a well-traveled route to the coast, and then gotten stranded in up to 4 feet of snow.

They sustained themselves on snow and dehydrated food they had loaded up for the trip, he said, and had enough propane to keep the RV heated.

Stivers, 29, and his wife, 31, decided Monday morning to go seek help - leaving with a tent, wool blankets, tuna and honey, Higginbotham said.

Workers from the U.S.

Bureau of Land Management found them yesterday.
