Welcome to the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast! Also known as SLASR. Join an experienced search and rescue volunteer and his friend as they discuss all things related to hiking and search and rescue in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

This week we are highlighting a couple of recent hikes including hikes on Middle and South Carter and a bushwhack out to Flume Peak. We also want to welcome back  our friend, Lynn Swezey who is an outdoor leader, photographer, and all around creative person who is an avid hiker and backpacker. Lynn will join us to talk a little about some of her recent hikes and we will ask her some questions about her volunteer work with the Alzheimer's association.  Later in the show we will discuss an interview Fish and Game participated in regarding the recent fatalities around franconia ridge.
