    Great job! This must have been what was keeping you away from maintenance work on VftT.

    All National Parks admission fees are temporarily waived

    The majority of National Parks have closed - https://www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2020/03/coronavirus-and-national-parks-whats-closed The remaining parks have lots of closed services and visitors centers, and there's a lot of pressure to close them completely.

    ATC requesting AT thru hikers postpone their thruhike

    They're trying to get people to avoid travel, which introduces new vectors for disease transmission. And remote rescues put a strain on already taxed healthcare systems. It's still best to stay local for your outside adventures.

    Smarts Mt

    The Clark Pond Loop was old AT, many moons ago. When I went to school we hiked a few remaining pieces of it but the rest had fallen into disuse. Not sure who if anyone has taken up maintenance on it, I'll check with my DOC sources.

    Mt Tecumseh Elevation Article

    There are a few that should be delisted; Lincoln probably doesn't have 200' prominence either.

    The number was 46 until 1975, and 47 until 1980.

    Mt Tecumseh Elevation Article

    The number 48 isn't part of the list, it's been 46 and 47 in the past. There's no need to replace anything. If Hight or Guyot qualify they'll be added in their own right.

    Wildcats ski trail in winter ?

    It does, however, require a Jackson Ski touring pass, at least for the trails that access trail in question.

    Mt Tecumseh Elevation Article

    But the history of the NH 4000'ers is precision, not tradition. Peaks have been removed and added in the past because of new surveys; there's no reason to change the practice now.

    Anyone Hiking after Knee Replacement?

    There are several current and former members of this forum that have had knee and hip replacements. As far as I know, all have continued hiking after appropriate rehab and recovery time.
