Welcome to episode 187 of the Sounds Like A Search and Rescue Podcast. This week we are joined by Mike York, the founder and President of Veterans on the 48. Veterans on the 48 is dedicated to getting more veterans outside and onto the trails to promote healthy lifestyles both physically and mentally. The group leads hikes for veterans, supports veterans interested in Wilderness First Aid classes, provides hiking gear, volunteers for trail maintenance and partners with other veteran groups. Michael will join us to share his story. Plus, staffing cuts hit the WMNF and nationwide, there was a recent rescue on Mt. Moosilauke, some avalanche activity on Mount Washington, options and timelines for trail adoption, and a recent hike on Pleasant Mountain and an ice fishing excursion in Western Maine.
