SARGENT’S PURCHASE — On Saturday, Nov. 7, at approximately 5 p.m., N.H. Fish and Game was notified of a group of five hikers who were stranded on a steep section of the Huntington Ravine Trail in heavy rain and low visibility and could not continue down. A rescue response was initiated, and volunteers from Appalachian Mountain Club and Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue, along with conservation officers, responded.
Due to the extended time it takes to get rescuers into this remote location, the group decided to try to descend when the rain subsided before rescuers arrived. Utilizing the gear they had with them, they were able to make it down a majority of the technical, steep terrain before they met up with the AMC hut caretaker around 7:45 p.m., who had hiked over from the Hermit Lake shelter and was the first rescuer on scene.
