Lost Hunters Found and Rescued

Some missing hunters have been found safe by a member of the Grandeville Mountain Rescue Unit. The two hunters, 26 year old Steven Orts and 26 year old Griffin Gallagher… both from New York… had parked their vehicle at the end of Lake Creek Road off of Big Salmon Road. They had been hiking for more than two days when they sent a message to Idaho County Dispatch saying they were extremely dehydrated and exhausted and were stuck on the face of a mountain with no way off. Thursday morning just after 10, the two were found, and given food and water, then helped back down to their vehicle.
