 Welcome to Episode 207 of the sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week, we are joined by listener Zara who had reached out and kindly offered to share her experience as someone who needed a rescue after a slip and fall incident on a hike in Maine. Zara shares her experience and reflects on her search and rescue experience and her recovery. Plus a run down of August Search and Rescue in NH and Nick is setting his sights on hiking in Massachusetts - he’ll cover a segment on the Blue Hills a place where many of the early pioneers of the White mountains spent time while working in and around Boston.
