The family of four tried to make it across Ant Flat road late Friday night and became stuck in the snow. Finally, at about 4:00 a.m. Saturday they were able to get a text message out to ask for help. Responders were able to get them out safely.

The sheriff's office reminded people to check road conditions before going off-road, especially during spring conditions. Often times there is a lot more snow down the trail.
