Two unprepared hikers who got lost in New Hampshire's White Mountains may have to foot the bill for their rescue say officials.
According to a news report from New Hampshire Fish and Game, Louis Scotti, 33, of Cranston, RI and Bartosz Zienkiewicz, 34, of Naugatuck, CT began hiking the popular nine-mile Franconia Ridge trail at 7am on Saturday, January 18. The pair made it to the Greenleaf Hut as intended, but followed the wrong trail down because weather conditions made it hard to see trail markers. The men called for assistance near Eagle's Pass because they thought they were hypothermic.
