clouds - stompmachine -  8-22-2024 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! ~ Stomp   Pic: Mrs. Stomp    

  https://slasrpodcast.com/      SLASRPodcast@gmail.com    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.
