KALISPELL, Mont. (AP) _ A 67-year-old Montana musician who spent
four days stuck on a remote mountain road says he wrote a goodbye
letter and was preparing himself for death when he was rescued.

Louis Rogers says he left Montana's Flathead region Thursday to
make a trip to Calder, Idaho. He decided to take the remote Gold
Creek Road. The road got too snowy for Rogers' Cadillac so he
decided to turn around _ and got stuck in a snowbank.

Rogers has health problems and decided to wait for help,
surviving on melted snow. He says he thought he was going to die on
Sunday, but Coeur d'Alene couple Scott and Penny Kalis came by in
their four-wheel drive vehicle, and brought him back to
civilization and food.
