The Caledonian Record (July 1, 2005) reported the successful carry out of Janine Palmer, a 55-year old hiker who broke her leg on the Old Bridle Path (Lafayette) about two miles up from the trailhead on Wednesday night. It was on the "Agonies," that notoriously slippery--"greasy"--section of basalt. The incident occurred at 3 p.m. and was reported by about 4.30. At 9 p.m., she was at the ambulance in the parking lot. That's a relatively fast response and carry out. It was the initial operation of the newly-formed Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue Team, under direction of NH Fish and Game.
