Incredible. It's one thing when adults endanger themselves- at least they have some choice in the matter. It's another when there are such small children involved. Thankfully everyone was ok.
 
Cheers Raymond!

As a Rhode Island native and current Midwesterner, I have helped a lot of folks on the trail over the years. It's not about where you are from, it is about what you know, how you prepare and the decisions you make. The rest as they say, is luck...
 
Glad to see some Massachusetts hikers being credited for helping in the rescue for a change. They’re going to ruin our image of being incompetent oafs.

I heard they own a driving school too!!:D Fallingwaters seems like the place to get lost this year.
 
WMUR ran an eduacational piece on proper equipment reguired to hike with and other media outlets have also been emphasizing proper equipment in recenet weeks. The WMUR TV interview with fish and game also mentions paying for rescue.
 
"Conservation officers and the passerby hikers each helped carry the children in the group, reaching the trailhead about 4:30 a.m. Saturday."

Lets hear it for the heroes! :cool:

HIP HIP HOORAY......
