From 3 Days to 3 Weeks, Here's How This E-Bike Rider Survived in the Sierras

It's a shared dream for many, visiting all 50 United States. Not everyone does it, and not everyone tries; but plenty would love to make the attempt. Tiffany Slaton, a fit and healthy person, wanted to try. So she prepared both herself and her supplies, and she made plans.

April 24, 2025 was the last day that people reported seeing her, her e-bike, and the little trailer she had full of her camping supplies to trek into California's Sierra Mountains. Among other items, she had a tent, two sleeping bags, and her Lectric e-bike. In recounting her story, we learn that she also had food, water, a knife, and a lighter. You know, the kinds of supplies you'd expect a well-prepared person to have on a journey like this.

The journey was only supposed to last a few days, and Slaton had told her parents and friends where she was going and how long she planned to be there. Since she's very much the type of person to stay in regular contact, they of course got worried when she didn't contact them.
