Welcome to episode 231 of the sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week we are joined by our friend Dann Van Der Vliet. Dan is an accomplished hiker focusing on the entire northeast region and brings a lot of knowledge not only in the White mountains but across Vermont and the Adirondacks. He has put together some notes to compare the Adirondacks to the Whites so we will get to know Dann and learn about the Adirondacks. Plus, a recap of the live Mountain Wanderer show from last week, recapping the 4000 Footer Awards Ceremony, Mike has a game to play for Nick and Dann, Spring weather with search and rescue calls over the weekend on Mt. Washington, Rocky Branch Trail and Falling Waters, Breaking Dave Shits news - an update on his Appalachian Trail progress including ponies, NH news including Ice Out, Squam Trail updates, tips for mud season and river crossings, national news, plus gear talk, North Carolina talk, a music minute, dad jokes, recent hikes on Greylock, Moosilauke, Blue Hills, and Bald Peak/Kinsmans
