This week we are joined for a listener spot spotlight with Chris Gothberg. Chris is a hiker, trail runner and photographer who will share some stories of his recent hikes in and around the Whites. I’m going to ask him to highlight some areas of Western NH that we don’t often talk about. Stomp gives his tips on Self Rescue - when should you and when should you not. Also sitting in with us is one half of the popular PUDs Podcast - Nick Sidla. Nick is going to add his perspective on a variety of topics including - NH trails get overrun with poorly behaving tourists during leaf season and it is all Stomps fault, plus snow has arrived on the higher summits this week, Moose safety tips, Space and Alien news, Safety courses in Avalanche and Snowmobiles, some history segments - Stomp looks back at the case of a Dartmouth Student who went missing on an outing club hike in 2019, I’ll share an AMC snowshoe trip itinerary from February of 1908 and we will review a trip report to the site of the Old Man on Cannon from the Summer of 1908. Plus Stomp hikes Lafayette, and we will cover recent search and rescue news.

This week we are joined by Barefoot Ken. Ken is an ultrarunner and writer, based in New York but has traveled extensively including most of the mountains of the Northeast. Ken is a minimalist/barefoot runner and hiker who will share some stories of his adventures and also talk about his approach to outdoor adventuring. Plus, ever wonder what it might be like to be on Mount Washington in the middle of a hurricane? We have a recollection of Hurricane Carol from 1954 from Peter Hood who as a young man was stuck near the summit of Boott Spur with a friend during the torrential rain and high winds of this famous storm and lived to tell the story. All this plus the weather is starting to change, some tips and reminders related to staying safe on trail as it gets cooler, Flags on the 48 is coming up soon, REI had a rough earnings forecast, Yellowstone Tourist gone wild, new OSHA rules related to search and rescue, Lost on a mountain in maine comes to theaters in November, recent hikes on Eagle Cliff, Black mountain and welch dickey, and notable hikes

House music generally falls into the 125-128 BPM range. Progressive EDM can range anywhere from 125 bpm, upwards to 130 bpm and beyond.
Trance has staked its claim at the 138 BPM range. Often called 'uplifiting,' trance is fast-paced and melodic, perfect for power hiking, trail runing and the like...
This 'clouds' mix falls between the 130-138 BPM range. The tracks within are some of my favorite tracks from the past decade+; It's fast and beautiful. This is my favorite mix to date.
Enjoy!

This week we have a follow up on Episode 154 where we covered a March 1983 fatality on Mount Washington where 23 year old Ken Hokenson lost his life and his hiking partner, Ali Kashkooli was rescued. At the time we covered the story we used the details provided in the Summer 1984 Appalachia Journal. The writer of that article and the rescuer who first found Ken and later helped rescue Ali is Doug Teschner. Doug was told about our segment and was kind enough to do a follow up interview with us so definitely stick around for this segment because Doug has a lot of interesting background on that event and we really get into what the White Mountains were like back then. Later in the show our friends Scott and Addie sit down to talk about the Loon Echo Land Trust which is a non-profit organization that conserves, protects, and maintains many of the trails and land in the Lakes Region of Maine. Scott and Addie are overseeing a trail race series that helps support the trust so we will talk about those races, learn about some of the Loon Echo hiking areas and talk about trail running in the Whites. All this plus Falling Waters reroute, powered hiking pants, and recent hikes on Quincy Bogs, and Middle Mountain.
