LOS ANGELES (AP) - Two young sisters missing from their Northern California home since Friday afternoon were found alive Sunday following a massive search that included helicopters and tracking dogs.
Leia Carrico, 8, and Caroline Carrico, 5, were found safe and sound on Sunday morning by a fire captain and firefighter who had followed the girls boot tracks, Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said.
This is an absolute miracle, he said.
Though the girls were dehydrated and cold, they were uninjured and in good spirits, Honsal said.He said the girls were trained in outdoor survival through their local 4-H club and that authorities believed that helped them. They also were wearing boots and had eaten granola bars at some point while they were missing, he said.
To have a positive outcome like this is just absolutely amazing, Honsal said.

Glad they are safe.
