Two missing hikers make it safely off Mount Shasta

WEED, Calif. (AP) -- Two missing hikers made their way off Mount Shasta safely, showing up in a town more than 10 miles from mountaintop, authorities said Tuesday.
Patricia Giamoni and friend Salvador Frias walked onto the shipping docks of Rosewood Forest Products in Weed at about 11:30 p.m. Monday, Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Susan Gravenkamp said.
The hikers were dehydrated but otherwise in good condition, she said.
They contacted authorities and were transported to Mercy Medical Center Mount Shasta to be evaluated for medical problems, said Michael Odle, a spokesman with the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Weed is just outside the boundaries of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest that includes Mount Shasta.
