FINE — Two Gouverneur residents were rescued by forest rangers Aug. 30 in Aldrich Pond Wild Forest, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
Forest Ranger Benzel responded Aug. 30 around 6 p.m. after learning that two hikers had left in the morning without any gear or food and were expected back by noon.
Rangers Benzel and Hanno reportedly searched the area south of the hikers’ campsite.
At 10:07 p.m., Ranger Hanno was shouting the names of the hikers when they allegedly responded, “We’re here.”
Ranger Hanno reportedly located the 30-year-old and 35-year-old from Gouverneur on the east side of Mullins Marsh Creek, approximately 1.5 miles from the campsite.
Ranger Hanno provided flashlights and guided the pair back to their camp. Resources were clear at 1:35 a.m.
