Two hikers in New Hampshire faced rescue efforts due to cold, wet, and icy conditions. A 39-year-old from Rhode Island was rescued after getting lost on Garfield Ridge without proper gear or a map. He called 911 and was found early Friday morning. Conservation officers highlighted the importance of adequate preparation, suggesting the man may face a civil fine. Another rescue involved a 57-year-old man from Massachusetts who also required assistance. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department conducts around 190 rescues annually, emphasizing the significance of preparedness in hiking.
Cold and wet conditions contributed to both hikers needing to be rescued.
Fish and Game recommended the man be civilly fined for the rescue effort because he was underprepared and did not do research on the hike beforehand.
