MAMAKATING — On June 22 at 4:30 p.m., a group of five hikers called Sullivan County 911 to report they were lost in Roosa Gap State Forest and couldn’t find their way back to the Cox Road trailhead. At 6:30 p.m., Forest Ranger Rusher reached the group from Queens, approximately 2.5 miles from the trailhead. The group thought the Long Path was a one-mile loop and had not prepared to be outside in the extremely hot weather. The group had only brought one bottle of water for each person. One member of the party was dizzy and nauseated due to heat exhaustion. Ranger Rusher provided food, water, and electrolytes to everyone in the group so they could continue hiking down. At 8:10 p.m., Summitville Fire Department hiked in with additional water for the group. At 8:45 p.m., the group reached the trailhead and were checked out by EMS.
