NJ Family Rescued From Top of Mountain In Maine
We all have our strengths. Apparently, for this Freehold Township family, theirs don't fall within the realms of the outdoors.
A family from Monmouth County thought they were in for a lovely Easter weekend hike when the decided to ascend Tumbledown Mountain on Saturday. Great name for a mountain, isn't it? Certainly inspires a lot of confidence.....
NJ.com reports that this family of four wasn't exactly prepared for the severity that can come with hiking mountains outside of our state. Climbing Tumbledown Mountain in Maine is a far different experience from climbing Mount Tammany in New Jersey or Mount Minsi in PA. For one, the conditions in Maine can still be dangerous and icy this time of year. If you're not prepared for that, as the sun comes down, you could face some trouble.
