A Long Time Gone Going back as far as the 27th edition of the WMG (I'm to lazy to dig through the back of my closest for earlier editions) state the ladder "has been removed". This edition came out in 2003, so they were removed more then 10 years ago. It might have something to do with the...

Yup Yup...Thanks for the Heads up.. I guess I'm old enough now to be officially "out of the loop". :eek: I just looked at their web site http://www.stringcheeseincident.com/, and presto, there's the road sign. At least I don't have to loose sleep over it. Thanks Walker

I was at the NHF&G "Discover Wild New Hampshire Day" expo Saturday, and had an opportunity to talk to some rangers from the WMNF. I specifically ask about the rebuilding of Slippery Brook Forest road that was washed out by Ilene last year. I'm sure Slippery Brook is low on their priority list...
