NODINE, Minn. — Overcome with fatigue, hikers called for help from a backtrail in Great River Bluffs State Park. A Nodine rescue team reached the hikers in an all-terrain vehicle and ferried them out. There were no injuries. This was about 3:20 p.m. The access was from Kipp Drive on the Nodine side of the 2,200-acre park. Vistors are pretty on their own. No full-time ranger.
