Cassandra Haskell, 37, of Bath, was hiking down Mount Avalon Saturday afternoon with a friend, using a small sled to descend some of the steeper sections of the trail. She could not control her speed and direction and hit a tree, suffering a lower-leg injury. Fish and Game officials rescued another hiker Saturday who they said didn’t have proper clothing while hiking Mount Washington. “New Hampshire Fish and Game would like to remind hikers to prepare themselves before venturing out into the wilderness, including packing the ten essential items: map, compass, warm clothing, extra food and water, headlamp, fire starter, first aid kit, whistle, rain/wind jackets and pants, and a knife.”
