Welcome to Episode 235 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast. This week we welcome back friend of the show Liz Fay. Liz recently spent time on the Appalachian Trail visiting our favorite thru hiker Daveshitsinthewoods, she's working her way through the Monadnock 50 Finest, tackling trail maintenance projects, chasing the New Hampshire 500 Highest, and we'll find out what other adventures she has planned for the summer.
Plus, we'll talk about a strange new hiking trend called quadrobics, get another update from Dave as he makes his way through Pennsylvania on the Appalachian Trail, discuss the ongoing closure at Lincoln Woods, explore whether the White Mountains are really part of the Appalachians, look at a growing human waste problem on Colorado's Blue Lakes Trail, a grizzly attack survivor in Glacier National Park, and the death of Yellowstone's last working payphone.
We'll also review the Osprey Poco LT child carrier, celebrate the opening of the AMC High Mountain Huts for the season, talk about Mike's hike on Jennings and Sandwich Dome, Nick's adventures on Hancock and Madison, highlight some incredible listener hikes including Liz Fay's East Osceola and Hale Brook Trail maintenance project, dive into recent search and rescue news, and take a look back at one of the greatest albums of the 1970s, Breakfast in America by Supertramp.
