I grew up in the shadow of that mountain. My first job was at a sawmill at the foot of it. As far as I know there are no major trails, nor minor trails for that matter. I know of a few private trails. There are snowmobile trails. It's a long forested ridge mostly visited by hunters. The...

You must have a different map than me. When I saw it the name was "Cock Hat Hill". Either way I find in amusing in my juvenile way.

Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant. I've merely seen that other hill on a map, I've never been there. So for all I know it could be posted or not.

If you're really into these 600 footers with interesting names, there's one in Alstead near the intersection of Rt 123 and 123A that you should check out sometime. (I have no idea of the public vs private status of it though).

Oh I'm sure that people do. They just aren't printable.

Very weak case, I'd think. Then again, I could use it as precedent and sue to get into BSP for free! Perhaps the Feds could turn the entire forest over to the state. Then there'd be no issue with multiple levels of government getting in each other's way. And then, taking a cue from BSP...

OMG!! A tax on one segment of the population that may benefit another segment. Surely this unprecedented historic event will precipitate the downfall of western civilization. Oh wait, that's what the case already is. Besides wouldn't the fairest thing to do would be to send a nickel...

Good point. But if not for the Wilderness, perhaps the bridge would have been repaired instead.

Actually after I sent that, I then wondered if you were talking about someone else. There's probably someone named Steve that hikes and drives a Highlander.

Maybe they could have gerrymandered the Wilderness boundary so the bridge was outside of it. Like how it looks near AMC huts. But of course at this point it's .... water under the bridge. :rolleyes: Yeah I'm aware of that but it seems like bureaucracy run amok. Has it ever been settled in...

Serving safety was not the issue, preserving the "Wilderness" was. Which always seemed strange to me. Something like an Owl's Head sign or a canister must be removed as it's nonconforming and the "Wilderness" is not supposed to show the signs of man's presence. And yet something like the...

I've heard from a very knowledgeable source that the section from the Wilderness boundary to the Bondcliff Trail is going to be renamed as "Bondcliff Trail". Wilderness Trail will only apply to the segment from the other side of the now removed bridge to wherever it currently goes (Stillwater...

It's actually a 4Runner, but the rest of what you said is true. Gas mileage is around 24 mpg as I have the V-6. Ground clearance is actually something like a half-inch higher than my old Grand Cherokee was (which surprised me). Too date I think I've only touched bottom in it once on Sandwich...

Unfortunately they don't have a good updated page like the Whites. (last updated in May). this says that the roads are generally open til December 15, but I'm not sure I'd trust that every year. I'd think the best thing to do is call the Rochester or Middlebury Ranger Station. For Lincoln Gap...

8 - 4 is what the sign by the road says. pictures from an epic journey Don't miss the Crosswalk to Nowhere right near by.

Will that increase or decrease the lewdness?

Have them measure again. They told me something similar. I've been wearing size 11 for around 20 years, and he measures my foot and says it's size 9. :confused::confused: I protested. So he measures my foot twice this time. Heel to toe is between 9 and 9-1/2. Heal to the ball of my foot...

Ok, so I heard the "hello" sound today on the Algonquin Trail. It was a pretty distinct sounding hello, perhaps with a slight speech impediment. Of course, it was just a freak combination of the wind and some mostly dead trees since I only heard it once. It was very breezy today and I was in...

I did a similar loop on Saturday, skipped Passaconaway because of a late start but otherwise the same. I seem to recall seeing a sign for that trail but nothing was really noteworthy near it.

About 10 years ago I took the gondola up. We wandered around up there but it was late afternoon so we didn't go to the summit. There was a wedding going on that day and all the guests were coming up on the gondola too. Long story short, the power went out around 5. Typical, as it happened at...
