Wilderness Rescue: On Oct. 6 at 2:30 a.m., DEC’s Central Dis-

patch received a call reporting a couple that were overdue from
a hike in the Santanoni Range. The caller indicated he did not
think they had the proper gear for an overnight stay. Forest
Ranger Quinn responded and located the hikers from Schenec-
tady at 7:09 a.m. The hikers explained that they ran out of light

before darkness fell and built a fire to spend the night. Ranger
Quinn and the hikers proceeded back to the trailhead and by
9:30 a.m., the incident concluded.
