Show Notes – Episode 78

https://slasrpodcast.com/

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 bring you to the center of the White Mountains Universe - also known as Mount Carrigain. Join us as we break down the various approaches to this classic NH hike and we will throw in some stories about near misses of disaster - Stomps climb of the Mount Lowell Shoot and Mike's experience with a friend suffering from Hypothermia on the Signal Ridge trail. Later in the show, Stomp is going to lead a brief discussion about broken specter phenomena. All this and some stories of hikers getting in trouble over the weekend.

Correction: We got the mileage wrong on Sawyer River Road - Parking lot is 2 miles into Sawyer River, Livermore is down the road to Sawyer River Trail. Stomp comes in from Hancock Notch so he referenced Livermore as being before Signal Ridge while Mike was talking in terms of coming in from Sawyer River Road.
