THOMPSON AND MESERVE'S PURCHASE — N.H. Fish and Game rescued a father and daughter off Mt Washington early Wednesday morning after the pair got lost and the father was struggling to continue hiking. Authorities said the pair were ill-prepared to hike the region’s highest peak.
In a release, Fish and Game said it received a 911 call Tuesday at 3:20 p.m. from Megan Cousins, 43, of Cambridge, MASS., reporting she and her father, Philip Presby, 71, of Reading, PENN., had gotten lost when her GPS had died. She said her father was not doing well and she had left him to call for help because she could not get cell service where he was. Fish and Game was able to guide Cousins back to the trail and to the Mt. Washington Auto Road where a guided van picked her up and took her off the mountain.
