Welcome to the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast! Also known as SLASR. Join an experienced search and rescue volunteer and his friend as they discuss all things related to hiking and search and rescue in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
This week, we visit one of the most popular mountains in the White Mountains National Forest - Mount Chocorua. We’ve talked about Chocorua in the past but we’ve never done a deep dive so get ready to learn everything you need to know about the trails, camping options, safety considerations and the legends around this iconic mountain. In addition to the Chocorua preview we welcome Lynn Swezey back to the show to share her recent adventures on the mid state trail and to discuss her disastrous slacklining missteps which has sidelined her from hiking for the foreseeable future. , we have an update on some people summiting mount everest this week, Waterville Valley to host a world cup mogul race, more tick talk, Stomp is going back to his hometown of Lynn to talk about how Lynn is on fire and he will give us a history lesson on Lynn Woods, REI stores are unionizing, a history segment on Colonel Joseph Whipple of Jefferson, NH, Gear reviews, Zealand Road, recent search and rescue news and we welcome a new sponsor - Seek the Peak.
