I had a little headspin myself with this in the news recently, as I had thought all the politicians had already proclaimed in the news within the past couple of years, that they had already saved the Tram? I guess were still close to Groundhog Day. I was a little disturbed by this statement by...

I actually expected it to get much colder at my home and was surprised yesterday morning when my friend in Nelson NH (much farther south) reported -21 while we had -23. On Friday around 8 pm same friend reported -8 while I was reading -18. He lives ~ 400' higher in elevation than me at around...

Other than the glasses fogging Chris, the active time at -5 was downright pleasant- except for the occasional misplaced breath not run through my nose. I thought I would have realized some new tricks with all the mask wearing of recent. That jacket was a gift that had limited practical use...

-23 right now Chris. Geez it was enough work sleeping in my warm bed and listening to my oil burner cycle and hope it continues to do so. I do have outside chores and had to make an emergency plan with my wife just for that last night. It really is amazing the fine line of safety and you really...

My wife ran into Kevin Jordan last night at the office as he and his wife were headed north for the Easter Seals Ride-in at Gorham this Friday and into the weekend. He said they already made the determination they were not planning to bring any of the kids out for a ride on the trails. Hopefully...

Interesting question and one I had attempted to communicate without rule or restriction at times. Park a retired ambulance at the OBP/FW trailhead partially obstructing the trailhead and idling and staffed with a volunteer pro. Might jar some into realizing the possibilities and engage...

I used to shop for myself there quite a bit for replacement Leathermans for the ones I constantly broke. My former supervisor asked me to look for an Old Timer folding knife for him last time I was there, sure enough one was there. I frequented when bringing state equipment down to surplus, and...

I participated in a couple of working meetings with Ed on efforts in NH Parks in the past and held him in high regards. He was with HEB at the time and was willing to give much towards public benefit.

Good advice for everyone Chris. I have always been of the habit to wear steel toe boots now along with the rest of my safety gear. Regardless, since the birth of my son who is now 9, I have been reluctant to work in the wood unless someone is home. Especially since the unfortunate death of Tom...

You bet Chris, I certainly miss that simplicity in life and the many advantages it brought. Although there were many desperately cold nights snowshoeing a sled drag of 5 gal. water jugs to the cabin that were less than pleasant. I was remembering yesterday a trip to Perth Ontario in the summer...

For shure. North Country pride and craftsmanship. They really do a good job presenting historical relevance and putting forth their style. I have appreciated it greatly myself.

Was worried for a repeat 2 days ago. In 1998 I was sitting in a bar in Keene NH with a friend, no doubt lamenting the rain destroying the good snow for XC skiing. We were shocked when the bartender announced my friends name, as his wife was on the other end of the phone the bartender was...

In 2001, I moved the manager's office at Monadnock State Park to the trailhead for the White Dot Trail so I could keep an eye on more hikers to try to head off so many responses (the previous manager had his office down at his residence so he could keep an eye on his kids). I used the office...

Luckily in NH though, the Law Enforcement Division (Game Wardens) get priority on all funding and efforts in the department.

No kidding! Had to dig mine out yesterday, couldn't see though, they were filthy.

I think I like your advice. I have to agree with what skiguy said on another thread, how did I ever have time for work.

We were enjoying a nice little storm here in Bethlehem that added up to about 5" ttl. Was able to shovel the almost 2" late Friday, a wet but pleasant activity of just under 2 hrs. 3 to 4 wet and heavy inches into Saturday mid morning. Took just as long to remove this with a snowblower on a...

I know.....I know....I have been considering getting back into Parks here in NH, but realize my point of view is too old fashioned to keep up with the modern demands of the customers, it was getting hard for me towards the end to be true to the values I felt important to keep central to the...

I thought Percival Baxter already set the vision for the park.

.......and why you seem so busy now.
