These two guys from Virginia hiked a very long distance in a very short time, going from the base of Mt Madison to Mt Pleasant and then down the Dry River Trail. Doing that in the summer would be hugely challenging. Somewhat like running a marathon. It's a surprise they were able to do it what with the deep snow with a crust on top.
Supposedly, the cash price for those with no insurance coverage, for a DHART helicopter ambulance ride to Dartmouth Hospital is $14,000. Wonder how they figure the price of a National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, or if they just chaulk it off as a training run? It's not unusual to see two A10S whart hog, fighters swoop'n & loop'n low in the White Mts, lookn' for a make believe Osama, or somethin'.
"Hey, looky here....no hands and its 145 knots at 250', low enuf to see the color of the wax on their cross country skis!
