Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Hiker dies in White Mountains of New Hampshire

Sometimes we put ourselves in a precarious position in the wild, and there's no margin for error, or even bad luck. Often we are fortunate and it goes our way...sometimes it doesn't.

I lost a good friend on Mt Adams in the '80's, they spent two nights in a stone hut hoping to summit, were on their way down and were lifted off by a 100+ mph gust while roped together, Ken went head first into a rock. Both were experienced mountaineers, Ken was going to be Salutatorian of his class at UMOrono, used to ride his bicycle home to upstate NY on breaks.
RIP Ken Hokenson, still miss you buddy.
