https://slasrpodcast.com/ Welcome to Episode 235 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast. This week we welcome back friend of the show Liz Fay. Liz recently spent time on the Appalachian Trail visiting our favorite thru hiker Daveshitsinthewoods, she's working her way through the Monadnock 50 Finest, tackling trail maintenance projects, chasing the New Hampshire 500 Highest, and we'll find out what other adventures she has planned for the summer. Plus, we'll talk about a strange new hiking trend called quadrobics, get another update from Dave as he makes his way through Pennsylvania on the Appalachian Trail, discuss the ongoing closure at Lincoln Woods, explore whether the White Mountains are really part of the Appalachians, look at a growing human waste problem on Colorado's Blue Lakes Trail, a grizzly attack survivor in Glacier National Park, and the death of Yellowstone's last working payphone. We'll also review the Osprey Poco LT child carrier, celebrate the opening of the AMC High Mountain Huts for the season, talk about Mike's hike on Jennings and Sandwich Dome, Nick's adventures on Hancock and Madison, highlight some incredible listener hikes including Liz Fay's East Osceola and Hale Brook Trail maintenance project, dive into recent search and rescue news, and take a look back at one of the greatest albums of the 1970s, Breakfast in America by Supertramp.

https://slasrpodcast.com/ Welcome to Episode 227 of the Sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week our friends Jake and Peter join us to do a shortened episode focused on our recent hike and overnight at the Randolph Mountain Club's Gray Knob cabin. As part of this trip some of the crew climbed Mount Jefferson and came back to the cabin and a couple of us just did the cabin and out. We will share both perspectives. This episode should give anyone who is curious about staying at Gray Knob or Crag Camp and detailed summary for planning your future trip. Plus you should hopefully be entertained, there were a number of sketchy parts of this trip that we will break down to help people understand some of the risks and safety steps you can take when hiking in the Northern Presidentials in late winter when ice becomes the primary feature on the trails.

https://slasrpodcast.com/ SLASRPodcast@gmail.com Welcome to Episode 223 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue podcast. This week we're joined by Dave, who's back with us and may or may not finally decide whether he's going public with his last name. We've got some follow-up on Great Britain versus the United Kingdom, more coyote talk as mating season ramps up and how not to get yourself in trouble, a little animal-track trivia now that winter actually showed up, and some positive feedback on Stomp's return. We've got listener shoutouts, including some love for Dave's PSAs, a funny comment about Mike's snow sculpture on Tecumseh, updates on our Alzheimer's 48 Peaks plans — including a potential Mount Adams hike — and a look at what's been happening around New Hampshire with rescues on Camel's Hump, avalanche incidents on Mount Washington, a disturbing number of snowmobile press releases, and new technology being used in long-term missing person cases as we mark the anniversary of Maura Murray's disappearance. Nationally, we'll talk about a K-9 finding a missing child during a bomb cyclone, fatal ski accidents out west and in Europe, and why this winter seems determined to remind people that mountains don't care about your Instagram plans. Plus, we've got gear talk, a dad joke, a music minute featuring Great Grandpa, recent hikes, future plans, and — in our main segment — Dave brings us the wild and surprisingly dark legend of the Silver Virgin Madonna, a New England treasure story that sits right at the intersection of frontier warfare, folklore, and wishful thinking.

https://slasrpodcast.com/ SLASRPodcast@gmail.com Welcome to Episode 222 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast, where this week we've got a packed show — we're talking winter conditions in the White Mountains, some SAR news, big news out of Lincoln Woods with trail closures coming for several weeks. Also - Stomp is back and has stories from snowmobile guiding a near-death moment, moose encounters, and some rumors floating around about a possible shoulder-season live show. Plus we've got news out of England involving people behaving badly, a winter gear check-in with Nick's new Black Diamond Mercury Mitts, favorite cold-weather trail foods, and a reminder that if your wool isn't as warm as it used to be… We'll do some pop-culture talk, including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a rundown of some early Oscar buzz movies, we'll talk about beer, recent hikes, future plans, and we've got another great batch of listener hikes of the week. And for a history segment, we're going way back — we're digging into early Appalachian Mountain Club field meetings and what hiking looked like in the late 1800s when it was very much a group sport, with large organized excursions, committee oversight, and post-hike reporting that sounds nothing like modern hiking culture. All that plus sponsors, donations, stickers, swag, and everything else you've come to expect.
