Conditions: Sawyer River Road is in great shape....excepting the 200 yard full road washout just before the house and old logging mill. Up to 20 feet deep in spots this may take awhile. The bridge at the Signal Ridge trailhead held up fine

I agree with what Michael says here.. In my opinion maintenance is okay in Wilderness areas and as long as it follows Wilderness Rules should be done and not just as a damage control reaction. Owl's Head a classic example with debate about the summit mess, routinely followed bushwacks...
What: well Ashland Booze and Vittles obviously..well intentioned get together that comes along about once a month
Where: Ashland NH Common Man , exit 24..up stairs in the cozy pub
When; Friday 8/12 from 6ish to 9 ish
Who: all welcome to this adult and kid friendly establishment..good food...
