Welcome to episode 217 of the sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week, we are joined by the new owner of the Mountain Wanderer bookstore, Forrest Chess. Forrest joined us for a short segment during full conditions but we wanted to invite him back in for a longer discussion to learn about his background and to plug the change in ownership so when you go into the store to buy all your books and white mountain themed gifts and other items you know a little about him. Plus Nick shares some info about Canada Lynx, Missing person in maine, Christmas activities in and around the whites, Search and Rescue Otters, Bad parenting, Gear Reviews for Osprey backpacks, music minute, notable hikes, recent hikes on South Moat and Blue hills and sound search and rescue news. Im Mike, and I’m Nick, lets get started.
