One cardinal rule of hiking is that you should always wear proper footwear, like hiking boots to avoid nasty trips and falls. Another is that you never leave anyone behind on the trail, however, one group of hikers in New Hampshire missed that memo over the July 4 holiday, triggering a search and rescue mission when they lost their companion.
According to a news release from New Hampshire Fish and Game, the department received a report of a missing hiker in Monadnock State Park at around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Isam Hejazi, 22 of South Easton, MA had reportedly last been seen just after 3:00 p.m. near the junction of White Dot and White Cross Trails when his party had abandoned him due to his walking pace.
