Alaska State Troopers located an out-of-state man who got lost on a hiking trip near Skilak Lake on Sept. 11.
Josh Blackmore, 43, of Midland Mich. became separated from his group of four hikers who set out on a multi-day hike, according to a troopers dispatch.
A charter plane flew the four hikers into a remote area on the south side of Skilak Lake. Troopers received a report at about 6:50 p.m. from the Rescue Coordination center to locate Blackmore.
An Alaska Air Guard helicopter responded to the area and located Blackmore. The four hikers were transported to Central Peninsula Hospital and released without need of medical attention.
