A pair of handwritten notes helped California authorities track down a missing mother and her young son who were stranded in a dense, remote forest for more than 24 hours.
Tami Laird, 49, and her son Stirling, 9, left their Roseville home Friday afternoon to embark on a three-hour journey to Camp Wolfeboro, a children’s summer camp along the North Fork of the Stanislaus River, authorities said.
