Interview with Andy Wright -
Ranger with Cumberland Trail State Park
Andy Wright at the 3rd Southeastern Foot Trails Conference
Last week there was a report of two lost hikers in North Chickamauga Creek Gorge. Tennessee State Park Rangers were involved in the search for these two hikers. Thankfully, the hikers emerged safely from the woods after spending a chilly, unplanned night outside.
I asked Andy Wright, Park Ranger for Tennessee State Parks to join me in the office to talk about how to stay found, and what to do if you happen to find yourself lost. Andy is assigned to work on the Cumberland Trail State Park, and was involved in last weeks search & rescue. During our interview, Andy also takes some time to discuss a high profile search and rescue that he participated in - back in 2004 in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
