Believe you hit the nail on the head. Greenleaf is a lonely trail especially through the eagle cliff area,which must have loads of snow right now.I was there 3 years ago in October ,the day they were shutting down the hut.It seemed the hut people use the greenleaf trail quite a bit.

SEveral threads regarding your first two sentences already on this forum.Glad you get the political culture in nh,I do not! Nh is really a tale of two states.Southern nh is awash in Boston commuter money with all the benefits such as unchecked growth and traffic hell,while the northern section...

These polls are constantly influenced by socio economic class and written by folks who are good at sitting in the library.The south on a whole is very poor,so of course it always ranks last on any list.California seems to have a population who are much better in shape than new england?Also look...

Thanks for the link.Hopefully I can work my way thru all of this report eventually.Proposed plans for Black mountain seem to make sense.Planned burns are very important for forest regeneration.Very cool this info is available to the public,even if not everyones cup of tea.

conditions;trail had trace snow at lower section with ice gradually taking over as you got to the top.The last .6 miles was a little hairy because of combo of a very wide trail and ice flows that had some character to them.Trail is very tight,nice work and very pleasant to climb...

Thanks Sardog,the topographic map is great,one of the better ones I have seen.Nothing like a good map.Kudos to whoever put this one together.
