This week we are joined by Barefoot Ken. Ken is an ultrarunner and writer, based in New York but has traveled extensively including most of the mountains of the Northeast. Ken is a minimalist/barefoot runner and hiker who will share some stories of his adventures and also talk about his approach to outdoor adventuring. Plus, ever wonder what it might be like to be on Mount Washington in the middle of a hurricane? We have a recollection of Hurricane Carol from 1954 from Peter Hood who as a young man was stuck near the summit of Boott Spur with a friend during the torrential rain and high winds of this famous storm and lived to tell the story. All this plus the weather is starting to change, some tips and reminders related to staying safe on trail as it gets cooler, Flags on the 48 is coming up soon, REI had a rough earnings forecast, Yellowstone Tourist gone wild, new OSHA rules related to search and rescue, Lost on a mountain in maine comes to theaters in November, recent hikes on Eagle Cliff, Black mountain and welch dickey, and notable hikes
