Los Angeles couple eventually was found after 5 days got lost in the dessert. Mariya Mitkova (27) and Aaron Morganstein (33) were found in a good condition  near the U.S.-Mexico border. They were reported that they drank their own urine to survive there.  

The couple was last seen leaving the pair’s home in the 2200 block of Shoredale Avenue, in Elysian Valley, about 3 p.m. last Saturday. They planned to drive to Joshua Tree National Park or Imperial Sand Dunes for the weekend. They were expected to back home on Monday since they have to go to work. But, they didn't back. They could not use their cellphone until they found a cell tower. Then, they called their friends.

For me, they are very strong and tough. They could survive for 5 days in the dessert without eating, but just drinking their own urine. It seems disgusting. However, their effort to stay alive has to be appreciated.
