Welcome to Episode 225 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue podcast. This week we're joined by hiker, blogger, White Mountain Tracer, and all-around mountain machine Isabelle Risitano — better known as "Where's Izzy?" — and we'll talk about how she got into hiking, what sparked the blog, burnout, bushwhacks, redlining madness, Mountains for Meals, and whether she actually prefers hiking with Dave or Liz, plus we've got news out of New Hampshire including sledding bans along the Cog, a pile of snowmobile crashes, a couple of recent rescues, and a reminder that AMC Adopt-A-Trail renewals are coming up fast.
We'll hit some White Mountains history with the anniversary of the Weeks Act, Nick's continued geography investigation into Intervale and why New England refuses to make town lines simple, a live show announcement at the Mountain Wanderer, gear talk including a heavy Yeti backpack and rain strategies that mostly involve Mike avoiding rain entirely, some listener shoutouts, recent hikes, future plans, and of course a dad joke
Join the SLASR Podcast 48 Peaks Team on June 13 to hike Mount Adams
