Two kayakers were rescued by the Maine Warden Service Monday night after getting stranded on opposite sides of the Meduxnekeag River, according to Maine DIF&W spokesperson Mark Latti. Josh Ford, 33, and Alec Dalton, 24, both from Monticello, encountered rapids and downed trees on the north branch of the river — located west of Monticello — when they were flipped and thrown from their kayaks.
