HOLLISTON —

A Holliston native is recalling the three painful days she spent alone, lost in the woods of Oregon, after being separated from her boyfriend during a hike and then breaking her leg.

Pamela Salant, 28, said she fell 50 feet into a ravine after she and her boyfriend had an argument and decided to go their separate ways.

She spent three days and nights alone nursing broken bones, deep cuts and painful scrapes. She said she survived by eating bugs, berries and drinking creek water.

Salant was eventually hoisted to safety by a helicopter search crew.

She said her biggest mistake was failing to review maps of the area with her boyfriend before their trip.

Moral of the story: Don't fight with your boyfriend in the woods! Do it in the city!
