Multiple Groups Rescue Injured Appalachian Trail Hiker MOUNT ABRAM TWP, Maine – Maine Game Wardens and approximately 35 first responders and volunteers rescued an injured Appalachian Trail hiker on Spaulding Mountain in Mount Abram Township last night, carrying him from the top of Spaulding Mountain to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain, then transporting him down the ski resort mountain by vehicle. “Without the assistance from all of the first responders and volunteers, getting Mr. Archdale off of the trail would have taken much longer. Trail conditions were wet, rocky and steep. It was a great coordinated effort by all involved to get rescuers to the top of Sugarloaf and carrying Mr. Archdale off the mountain. We have a great group of people in Franklin County to make rescue operations like this one run smooth,” said Maine Game Warden Sergeant Scott Thrasher.
