A hiker’s ordeal on the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail ends with help from strangers
A hiker on the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail became stuck in mud up to his hips recently and couldn’t get out for a couple of hours.
“It was really fortunate for him that the other hikers came along,” Clarke said. “He’d been in there quite a while, and was getting cold, tired and nervous.” Search and rescue team members have sunk up to their thighs on occasion while carrying injured people out on stretchers, but always manage to get out quickly, she noted.
