Hiker injured on Mary's Glen Trail

Unread post by dave »

Town of Hunter in Greene County

Wilderness Rescue:
On Oct. 23, a Scout group from Nesconset went for a hike to North Point. At approximately 4 p.m., one of the Scout leaders fell on a rocky section of the Mary's Glen trail, causing a leg injury. The group called Central Dispatch requesting Forest Ranger assistance. Forest Rangers Dawson and Slade responded with Assistant Forest Ranger France. Ranger Dawson hiked in with one of the Scouts and located the 51-year-old hiker approximately 0.8 miles from the trailhead. After splinting the injured leg and treating other minor injuries, Ranger Dawson provided crutches and helped the hiker out of the woods at 7:45 p.m. The subject declined further medical care.
