Feb 14, 2025
Welcome to episode 185 of the sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week our friends from 48 Peaks - the Alzheimer’s Association join us as we join the fight against Alzhiemers by encouraging everyone to participate in the 2025 The Longest Day - 48 Peaks hiking and fundraising event. Cindy is a multi time guest on SLASR and Paul is a personal hiking buddy of mine so we will get some updates from Cindy on her adventures and Paul will probably spill the beans on hiking with me over the last year or so plus he will share his personal story of how alzheimers has impacted his family and his journey to raise funds through 48 Peaks. All this plus huge snowfalls coming to NH, some reminders about staying prepared for adverse weather conditions, a rescue on Franconia Ridge, more place name changes in the news, and the story of a man who was adopted by a herd of goats.
