HIKER IN DISTRESS CALL SATURDAY AT OCONEE STATE PARK

Oconee County rescuers looked on Saturday for a hiker in distress on a trail in the vicinity of the Oconee State Park, but were forced to give up their search hours later after finding no one. Charlie King of Oconee Emergency Services said responders were plagued by the lack of specific information as to the location of the individual in need of help. They looked, but came up empty-handed.
