Response to June, 2004 Rescues

 

A 56-year-old New Jersey man is out of the hospital after being carried down Mount Katahdin on a stretcher following a fall from a rock face.
Baxter State Park-AP) -- Park rangers spent 12 hours rescuing Vincent Jones, who dislocated both of his shoulders in the Monday afternoon accident on the Hunt Trail, at an elevation of three-thousand feet.
About 50 people, including volunteers from a nearby campground and a whitewater rafting company, took part in the rescue. Because of the weather and mechanical issues, there was no attempt at a helicopter rescue.
