Hikers safe after night on NH mountain
FRANCONIA, N.H. (AP) — Two hikers are safe and sound after spending a cold night on a New Hampshire mountain.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department says it received a call at 4 a.m. yesterday regarding two men who hadn't returned from hiking Mount Lafayette in Franconia Notch.
Sgt. Brian Suttmeier said after conservation officers responded, one of the hikers, 34-year-old Jamie Beauchesne of Holderness, N.H., emerged from the woods on his own.
An officer then went in on snowmobile to bring out the other hiker, who was brought to safety about 1 p.m. The second hiker, Jonathan Kusiak of Michigan, was suffering from hypothermia and frostbite on his feet.
