    Help with track ID

    1st one looks like a dog track to me. So it may be a big coyote, or just a big dog. At my woods coyote track is frequent, but I often get much bigger tracks when my neighbors dogs travel onto our trails. Some real big domestic breeds out there. Another thing can be the characteristics of the...

    Batten down the hatches, the weather hype is at its max

    An interesting storm, ended with just under 5" here at home with 7" being reported a few hundred feet higher up in Bethlehem Village. I saw a TV weather graphic showing the snow totals early Sunday morning, that showed a very narrow pencil shaped void of snow right over the CT River valley from...

    Batten down the hatches, the weather hype is at its max

    I couldn't believe how beautiful it was on Monday. Absolute classic clear and cold, with big cold snowflakes fluffing out of trees and catching the bright sunlight.

    Batten down the hatches, the weather hype is at its max

    The running joke at our house which was repeated after watching the local forecast this morning, "I guess we'll get one & a half to three inches." Which has been the results from quite a few of the last predicted winners here. And that is what regularly falls here mostly when not even forecast...

    The Milan Ski Jumps are having a competition this weekend and next week

    No need, as I was probably performing penance for my own past transgressions of youth.

    The Milan Ski Jumps are having a competition this weekend and next week

    I always had a love/hate relationship with the site when I worked for parks and had some responsibilities there. I loved the history and knew it was important to keep it/maintain it as a historical site, but man the whole area would get routinely trashed, and I often had miserable work to do...

    Not a great start to MLK weekend

    Since the rest of my afternoon included laying on the ground in single digits, while trying to fit new tire chains on my tractor, I was wearing wool overalls while skiing- so had some padding. I do need to be more careful though, as I have the habit of wandering farther into the woods without...

    Not a great start to MLK weekend

    I was watching him jealously this morning, guess we live in an upside down world now. We are actually waiting for it to warm a bit before going out for a ski on our trails here at home. I was upset last Saturday that I didn't ski, since there was mixed precip. and warming forecast for Sunday...

    Not a great start to MLK weekend

    Darn it. I'm seeing rain mixed into my local forecast for Monday. I've kept moving north my whole life just to avoid this crap.

    New proposed Landfill in Dalton NH

    Unfortunately it wasn't the state who had sued against this violation of the Clean Water Act, it was the Conservation Law Foundation looking out for us. Here in town some are commenting that the town didn't even get enough in the settlement to cover the towns legal costs, but the town was not...

    Yearly Reminder, NH Hike Safe Card, time to renew

    I always referred to Officer Lucas as "Hollywood", but never to his face. His first name is actually Glen, and you should know he is a very nice person when you get past the tough-guy cop stuff.

    Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest on NH Chronicle (WMUR)

    Nice Gorge. There is an early experimental forest here in Bethlehem that I only recently discovered some history about, the Gale River Experimental Forest: https://bethlehemheritagenh.org/ccc-camp-2118-at-pierce-bridge/ Although a much more very crude landscape/hydrology experiment as opposed...

    Cog Railroad Expanding Winter Operations

    Agreed. Not wanting to take the effort to read the details in the RSA, and not necessarily intending to see this as controversial......I'm very curious from the management perspective if the operation would need to consider itself a ski area, and implement the ski area like requirements, if you...

    Cog Railroad Expanding Winter Operations

    Reading through thoughts and points on this made me wonder if this effort would need to fall into identifying themselves as a ski area and be required to comply with NH Laws regarding the operation of a ski area, since they plan to charge a fee...

    Presby Brothers Buy Mt. Agassiz

    There is a little 2378' mountain in Bethlehem, NH that is prominent in the town's history, as well as a notable and popular scenic mountain destination during the grand hotel/mountain carriage road period in White Mountain history, and remained as a popular tourist attraction into the early...

    Bowman Base Camp is for sale

    Good question. My wife is the wildlife biologist and always adds it to our orders and wants me to plant it. She is big into insects and we do maintain our land with consideration to encourage the bottom of the food chain and up. We are fortunate to have a few hummingbirds around every year that...

    Bowman Base Camp is for sale

    I have a hard time not buying new tree seedlings every year, as a frequent buyer I receive the catalogs by US Mail late winter, so have learned to place my orders early before everything sells out. Here is the website for the state nursery and I would recommend seeing if you can get on their...

    Balsams Update - Go Big or Go home

    If they would restore the ski touring trails, that would qualify in my mind as providing the opportunity for a religious experience. It pains me to this day that such a fine set of ski touring trails has been lost to use. Shockingly for someone with an appetite for reading I had none to read...
