Gov. Mark Sanford has been hiking the Appalachian Trail, a spokesman said, explaining a days-long absence.
Sanford hadn’t been at work for several days, and his office hadn’t been in touch with him. The lieutenant governor, other lawmakers and even his wife said they didn’t know where he was. First Lady Jenny Sanford said she had not talked with her husband in days.
The Republican governor left town on Thursday, spokesman Joel Sawyer said, with plans to hike the trail and return this week. The trail doesn’t cross South Carolina.
