LINCOLN — A hiker who was cut off from a trail crossing by a flooded river was rescued by a team consisting of state Fish and Game Department Conservation Officers and volunteers from Mountain Rescue Service and White Mountain Swift Water Rescue on Friday, Dec. 21.

Joshua Kuntz of Dover was descending the Basin Cascade Trail Friday afternoon when he became stranded at a brook crossing and was unable to make it across. Heavy rains throughout the day had caused the rivers and streams in the region to swell to raging conditions making it impossible for Kuntz to cross safely.
