image30-05-2014 19.40.59The Bear Creek Fire Department sent out to hasty teams to locate two hikers on the Lost Lake Trail near Seward late Thursday evening.

The two hikers, William “Kirk” Nolta, age 33 and Megan McClintock, age 35, both of Anchorage, had called into Soldotna Dispatch just before 10 PM on Thursday to inform troopers that they were called, wet and in need of assistance on the trail.

The two hikers had tried to hike up to the Clemens cabin located on the lost Lake Winter Trail, but “were unable to locate the cabin and turned around,” troopers reported. They called for assistance after one of them spreading their knee as darkness was setting in.

The two hasty teams were able to locate the two hikers and safely escort them back to the trailhead.
