DIXIE, Wash. —

A lost 12-year-old girl found a vacant cabin in the Blue Mountains and wrapped herself in the flag to stay warm until she was found.

Trisha Patterson of Camas was found Wednesday morning by ground searchers about 10 miles east of Walla Walla.

Blue Mountain Television reports she was checked by medics at a fire station at Dixie and reunited with her mother.

Trisha had became separated from her family during a hike Tuesday evening near her grandfather's cabin.

Sheriff's deputies searched overnight with help from volunteers on foot, ATVs, motorcycles and a helicopter.
