To all the helpers who carried the sick hiker off of the Belfast Trail last evening.
Nessmuk and I are the only hikers on our squad, so when the call went out for "chest pain, 35 y.o. male, i mile up the Belfast Trail", we headed out. We asked for a Stokes Basket and wheel. Two more members responded with same. Were it NOT, however for the young, strapping fellows, and one middle aged fellow, who helped to guide/carry the Stokes basket down to the trailhead, we meager few of the rescue squad would have had quite a time of it.
God bless, and thanks to all the helpers. The patient arrived safely and in a timely manner, because of each one of you!
