Hiker Lost and Found in Connecticut

The Kent (CT) Dispatch, reporting on 20 April 2007 on the Nor'easter that blew through the eastern U.S. dumping lots of rain thereupon mentions that:
"Monday afternoon the KVFD was called out for a lost hiker on the Appalachian Trail. Searchers spent about five hours locating a hiker who had become separated from his group. The search area was the part of the Appalachian Trail that extends from Bull's Bridge through the Schaghticoke Indian Reservation and out to Macedonia Road (Route 341 west). Chief Epstein said the hiker was not injured but was "tired" when he was located."
I haven't heard of any damage to the Trail, either.

The article is dated 20 April 2007, bylined Karen A. Chase, and headlined "Nor'easter rages, but causes little real damage."
