Finally some good news to report around here. Two sisters who were separated from their father while hiking in the Yacolt Burn State Forest outside of Portland, Oregon, have been found after spending more than 15 hours out in the wild.

Rescuers used heat-seeking technology to search for the Vancouver, Wash., family late Sunday. They found the father and his son overnight, but the daughters — ages 7 and 10 — were missing until 10:30 a.m. Monday.

The girls were found by ground searchers with Fire District 13, also known as the Volcano Rescue Team.

The search began Sunday night when the father called 911 to report his daughters were missing. Officials said the father and son sat down to rest during their hike, but the girls carried on and disappeared.
