Two adults who were traveling with four children between the ages of 3 and 10, missing since Sunday in remote Pershing County, Nevada, have been found alive.

The group went out to "play in the snow" and went out of cell range, and meanwhile temperatures in the region have dipped to 16 below zero.

A search and rescue team, including the Civil Air Patrol, had been looking all day Monday into Tuesday for their silver 2005 jeep with a black top. They left their home in Lovelock, which is about an hour and twenty minutes east on I-80 from Reno, at noon on Sunday and had not been heard from since.

The missing group consisted of 34-year-old James Glanton, his girlfriend Christina McIntee, 25, their two children Evan and Chloe Glanton, and McIntee's niece and nephew, Shelby Fitzpatrick and Tate McIntee.

They were heading for an area known as the Seven Troughs, a series of seven parallel canyons below Seven Trough Peak, as the AP reports. It's federal land that's mostly unpopulated, about 20 miles southeast of the Black Rock desert, and it's possible that the group headed out there with few or no supplies.

Details are still scarce about where they were found, or how they became stuck, but reports are that all six are in good health as of Tuesday.
