My group ran into these ladies yesterday. We first encountered them as we started up the whack to the summit. Then when we started heading down we saw them again just below the "old" summit (and I am pretty sure they had no intention of going further north to the "new" one). Other than being a tad tired they looked fine and chipper. I did not worry for them since it was still a bit early (considering) and the last large chunk of miles would have been on Lincoln Woods. Our group got out just in time to not need headlamps, but I did not think they would be that far behind. I would be interested to learn where they got turned around. Glad they are safe though!

Sounds like they just ran out of steam...

I noticed that the AP writer mentioned that they were on the "Lincoln Park" Trail. Maybe listening to their Ipod while writing??
