INDIAN
LAKE--On Aug. 5 at 3:30 p.m., DEC's Ray Brook Dispatch received a call from a
subject who had located a hiker down on the middle of the Northville Placid
Trail, close to Cedar Lake Lean-to #1. The 64-year-old male hiker from
Sunderland, Mass., was disoriented and could not walk. The passerby gave the
man water to drink and he began to feel well enough to walk. Other hikers
carried the man's gear to the lean-to. Forest Ranger Jenifer Temple was flown
in by Helms Aviation via float plane to retrieve the hiker. Forest Ranger
Temple located the subject, who was able to walk out to the plane's location.
The Ranger and the hiker were flown to Long Lake, where Long Lake Rescue
transported the hiker to a local hospital for medical treatment. The incident
concluded at 8 p.m.
