Hiker overdue by week is safe

WENATCHEE – A 25-year-old Pennsylvania man who was overdue by a week on the Pacific Crest Trail is safe but hungry.

Ian Farmento, of Honeytown, Pa., didn’t pack enough food for the leg of the trip spanning from Stevens Pass to Stehekin. Farmento has been trekking the trail from Mexico. A Chelan County undersheriff said Farmento walked into Stehekin tired and hungry on Friday.
