Welcome to Episode 191 of the Sounds like a search and rescue podcast, Stomp is on an international espionage assignment so I’m joined by Nick Sidla of the PUDS Podcast and Lynn Swezer of the Hiking Buddies. This week we have a history segment - The Bemis Crew and the Story of Miriam Underhill and the creation of the 4000 Footer club. Plus a rescue on the presidential range, some updates on projects in the White Mountains, the second half of a hiker diary from 1971 covering the NH Appalachian Trail section. Plus recent hikes in the Belknaps and Guyot.
