Father, daughter rescued after getting lost on NH's Mount Shaw

MOULTONBOROUGH, N.H. — A father and daughter are safe after getting lost in heavy rain and fog on New Hampshire's Mount Shaw.

Fifty-six-year-old Michael Arcidy of Bedford and his 23-year-old daughter, Chiara, called for help Saturday night after straying off the trail. Fish and Game conservation officers located the hikers using GPS coordinates and used an all-terrain vehicle to reach and rescue them.

Officials say the father and daughter did have appropriate clothing and most of the recommended hiking gear, but they did not have a map that could have helped them get back on the trail.
