This week Jen shares about Shark toots and bouyancy. Then Megan tells Pam Bales' story "The Mystery on Mt. Washington," a story full of heart! Thank you to listener, Angelina, for this suggestion!

Organization to support: https://www.pemisar.org/

The Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue Team (PVSART) is a volunteer organization formed in 2005 to assist with woodlands searches for lost or missing persons and with carry outs. The primary response area for the team is Grafton County and the western side of the White Mountains.

PVSART also promotes hiker safety by providing trained speakers to address local school groups and other organizations and by posting safety information and resources for hikers on this site.

Membership is open to all hikers 18 and over in good physical condition who live in the local area. Contact them to join.
