iPod helps save mushroom picker
An iPod screen glowing in the middle of the night from thick underbrush led rescuers to a mushroom picker lost in the woods.
The search leader said Pini Nou, 25, of Vancouver, Wash., was on his first outing and got separated from his mother, an experienced mushroom hunter. At nightfall, she called Benton County authorities for help.
