Hikers OK After Night On Trail

Two men who were unable to hike down a trail due to darkness were assisted by the Maine Warden Service on Monday morning.

According to Warden Pat Egan, Michael J, Kenopensky of Bowdoin and Rick Davis of Lisbon were hiking on Sunday night when one of them notified a family member at 10 p.m. to say it was too dark to hike off of Horns Trail in the Bigelow Range in Wyman Township, near Stratton Brook Pond Road. The family member notified the Maine Warden Service, and the men’s truck was located by the wardens later that night.

Mr. Kenopensky was able to hike off the trail on his own and met wardens at his vehicle around 7:30 a.m. today. Mr. Davis, who injured his knee, was located by wardens off the trail. He was able to walk to the vehicle with the wardens’ assistance, Egan said.
