Radu Gyorgy and his 10-year old daughter wandered off their trail
LINCOLN, N.H. - Two hikers who became lost following a trail on Little Haystack Mountain were brought to safety by officers from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department on Monday evening.
Officials say they hiked 1 1/4 miles up the Falling Waters Trail to rescue hikers Radu Gyorgy and his 10-year-old daughter, who had wandered off the trail. The two hikers had most of their essential survival gear, but not a map, authorities say.
According to conservation officials, the two were able to call police for help at about 5 p.m., and officials guided them back onto the trail and located them before 7 p.m.
The Fish and Game Department reminds hikers to always pack appropriate gear before embarking on a hike.

Grafton, New Hampshire woman attacked by bear
Bear attracted by smell of pot roast
GRAFTON, N.H. - A woman was attacked by a bear in Grafton, after it was apparently attracted by the smell of food cooking, said authorities.
The bear lashed out at Tracey Colburn just as the 46-year-old opened her door to let her dog out at about 10 p.m. Saturday. Colburn was cooking a pot roast.
Colburn fell to the ground as the bear swiped at her, and her dog attacked the bear in its owner's defense, said officials.
A neighbor drove Colburn to the fire station. She was then taken to the hospital with cuts to her arms, said authorities.
Conservation Officer Tom Dakai said the black bear likely would be euthanized because it showed aggression toward a human.
The Grafton Fire Department said the bear was female and had two cubs.
The dog wasn't harmed. Colburn was back at her home Sunday.
New Hampshire Fish and Game is investigating the attack.

Second Alligator in a month pulled from a Manchester NH pond
MANCHESTER, N.H. - A 2-foot-long alligator was pulled out of Steven's Pond in Manchester over the weekend. It is the second alligator fished out of the pond in about a month.
Wildlife officials said the alligator is less than 1 year old. They said they don't know if it's male or female.
Officials said they presume it was a pet that someone could no longer care for and set free.
Authorities said someone fishing in the area hooked the reptile and called police.
The alligator is being turned over to New England Reptile Distributors in Plaistow, where it will be cared for.
