As I have read this story it started out that they were reported lost last week and that their family thought they went to the Sierras. Then the cops found a credit card record for gas in Upper Lake at the start of their adventure. They had gone into the Mendocino Natl Forest to camp. When they tried to leave they crossed a creek that was low going in but now much deeper with all the rain the area had received. The truck a 2WD got stuck and filled with water. They then found a cabin and broke into it. They then decided after a few days to hike out. That is when they were spotted by the helicopter that the family hired. Now they are home. The end.
These were free spirits that got lucky. Hope this clears it up.
