 Welcome to Episode 209 of the Sounds like a search and rescue podcast, this week we are joined by Stash from Inside the Line Podcast. Stash is the guy for all things hiking related to hiking and search and rescue in the Catskills. This week he will serve as cohost while Nick is up north enjoying some family time. Stash recently visited the Whites for a Hut stay in the Pemi wilderness so he will update us on his adventures and we will talk a little about the Catskills. Plus a couple of bad parenting - hiking / wilderness related stories, a trip report of a traverse across the Baldpate Mountains in Maine - we will cover this section of the Appalachian trail for those interested in exploring, plus a recent hike on the Baldface mountain range in Evans Notch, including an update on trail maintenance.
