JAFFREY – Four hikers had to be rescued from two mountains in two separate incidents Monday, July 26, according to New Hampshire Fish and Game officials.

At about 4:30 p.m. officials from Mount Monadnock State Park in Jaffrey called Fish and Game to report two lost teenagers on the mountain.

Cassandra Hailson, 15, and Mathew Correia, 18, both of Salem, were able to get a cell signal and called one of their parents. They said they’d lost the trail shortly after starting their decent from the summit at about 2:30 p.m.

The parent called park personnel for help. Fish and Game officers told the teens to call the 911 operator. From that call, rescuers were able to get the teens’ GPS coordinates from their phones to give rescuers their approximate location. Fish and Game officers found the hikers at about 9 p.m. several hundred yards west of the Pumpbelly Trail.

“The hikers were in good spirits, but did not have food, water or flashlights with them,” officials said in a press release.

Earlier in the day, Fish and Game officers were called to assist an 81-year-old man down a trail on Mt. Chocorua in the White Mountains.

Richard Weeks, of Lynnfield, Mass., was hiking the mountain with his family. They started out at about 11 a.m. but after they reached the top, Weeks became fatigued. His son, Richard Weeks Jr. of Portsmouth, stayed with him, while the rest of the family hiked out.

“When it became clear that father and son would not be able to reach the trailhead before dark, Weeks’s wife called for help.” said Fish and Game officials.

Officers hiked up the trail to assist the two men. They reached the trailhead at about 12:30 a.m. on July 27.
