The AP's Jennifer King reports thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail are embracing a sweet challenge.
Despite all the rain we've had this spring (so many Saturdays washed out!), it's still a great time to get outside and explore in the woods, in meadows, up trees - you name it. Trouble is, in all those places, you're at risk of picking up a hitch-hiker: a tick! They can share some pretty concerning illnesses, but there are ways to protect yourself. Dr. Joao Tavares, Infectious Disease Specialist at Cape Cod Healthcare in Hyannis, joins the show this week for some "tick talk".

YOSEMITE National Park DISAPPEARANCESBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.
National Park Nightmares – Volume 11: “The Vanished” In this episode, we examine two disappearances—separated by 78 years—that continue to confound families, search teams, and anyone who tries to make sense of what happened.It was a typical summer day in the Colorado wilderness when 4-year-old Alfred Beilhartz disappeared during a family outing. He was walking just behind his parents along a trail near a stream—then suddenly, he wasn't. What followed was one of the first large-scale search efforts in the park's history, involving over 150 people, bloodhounds, and aerial surveillance. But no trace of Alfred was ever found. Witnesses later reported seeing a boy matching his description on a remote cliffside ledge. Searchers scrambled to reach the spot—only to find nothing. No boy. No tracks. No clues. Just silence.Floyd Roberts wasn't a first-timer in the canyon. His connection to the place stretched back to 1992, when his friend Ned Bryant first invited him out. Roberts became a devoted hiker, returning year after year with Bryant. By 2016, the two were seasoned and well-prepared, setting out once again—this time with Bryant's daughter along for the trip. On June 17th, deep in the remote Kelly Tanks area, the trio chose to split momentarily: the Bryants taking a route over a hill before the trailhead, Roberts choosing to walk around it and meet them on the other side. He never arrived. The Bryants waited, circled back the way Roberts went, then returned to camp and marked the area with visible gear to guide him. Still, nothing. This wasn't a man likely to panic or get lost. Roberts was highly intelligent—he'd worked at NASA and taught programming and game design. He had food, water, and a map marked with their routes. But after six days of searching with helicopters, drones, and canine units—no sign. No gear. No footprints. No remains. Despite the unforgiving terrain and triple-digit heat, Roberts' experience and preparation should have given him a fighting chance. And yet, five years have passed, countless hikers have passed through the region, and not a single clue has surfaced. Why did Floyd veer off alone? Why couldn't the others hear a call for help if something went wrong just on the other side of a hill? And how does someone—someone this equipped, this smart, this familiar with the terrain—vanish without leaving behind a trace?

In this episode, host Zach Urness reports on a project in Eugene that will add a mountain biking park and expand the size of the city's Ridgeline Trail system for hiking. The city plans to add 12 miles of new trail at Suzanne Arlie Park and South Eugene Meadows, opening up the city's first trails built specifically for mountain biking while also creating new hikes and expanding hiking routes. It's been a long road for the city to embrace mountain biking. The project also moves the city closer to its ultimate goal of having trails that connect from Fern Ridge Reservoir to Mount Pisgah.
In this episode, I talk about a simple challenge that can be an excellent thing for any hiker who always seems to be 'on the go' in their day-to-day lives. == Want to get fit, strong and resilient for your hiking adventures?

Hikers Who VANISHED With Their DOGSBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.
Welcome back to The Freaky Deaky! Tonight, we're diving headfirst into four mysteries that have baffled and tormented curious minds for decades—maybe even centuries. The Taos Hum, the Tunguska Event, strange disappearances in national parks, and the elusive phenomenon of ball lightning. These aren't just weird stories; they're reality-warping riddles. A low, maddening hum that refuses to be traced. A blast so massive it leveled a forest without a trace of impact. Hikers who step off the trail and simply cease to exist. And eerie, glowing orbs that flicker through storms like something out of a fever dream. We've got a packed episode ahead—scientists, researchers, eyewitnesses, and investigators who've dedicated their lives to chasing the unknown. And as we unravel each of these enigmas, I'll be throwing some questions your way—because I want to hear what you think, too. Maybe you're a skeptic looking for a rational answer, or maybe you're the kind of person who thrives on the unexplainable. Either way, you're in the right place.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 9, 2025 is: wend WEND verb Wend is a literary word that means “to move slowly from one place to another usually by a winding or indirect course”; wending is traveling or proceeding on one's way in such a manner. // Hikers wend along the marked trails to the top of the mountain, which provides a panoramic view of the area towns. // We wended our way through the narrow streets of the city's historic quarter. See the entry > Examples: “Otters do not like to share food.... There is a flickering movement of jaws before they swallow and dive again. For a moment I think they have left, then they surface once more and I make out two long shapes, one just ahead of the other. They wend their way further down the waterway before insinuating themselves back into the dark.” — Miriam Darlington, Otter Country: In Search of the Wild Otter, 2024 Did you know? “Out through the fields and woods / And over the walls I have wended …” So wrote poet Robert Frost in “Reluctance,” using the word's familiar sense of “to direct one's course.” By the time of the poem's publication in 1913, many other senses of wend had wended their way into and out of popular English usage including “to change direction,” “to change someone's mind,” “to transform into something else,” and “to turn (a ship's head) in tacking.” All of that turning is linked to the word's Old English ancestor, wendan, which shares roots with the Old English verb, windan, meaning “to twist” (windan is also the ancestor of the English verb wind as in “the river winds through the valley”). Wend is also to thank for lending the English verb go its past tense form went (as a past tense form of wend, went has long since been superseded by wended).
This episode originally aired April 9, 2018. Hikers near Anchorage, Alaska discovered a body wrapped in sheets which were edged in orange stitching. Authorities hydrated the fingers and obtained a fingerprint, enabling them to identify the victim. Clinging to the sheet, they also discovered a tuft of red carpet fibers -- threads of evidence which led them straight to the killer. Learn more about your ad choices.
