The wood frogs are croaking and the peepers are peeping too.

How many 4Ks are mentioned? How many non-4Ks?

Walker forgot to add that to make this toll booth idea more palatable to out-of-state hikers, one legislator has proposed that each driver who wishes to allow a voluntary search will be issued a sticker certifying that the car has been searched and nothing of value has been found in it, alerting...

After a brushy trek yesterday at around 2000', I found the first tick of this season walking down my dog's back this morning. It was a big "dog" tick. Given the unseasonably warm temps this spring, I'd planned to start Frontline Plus early for the dogs, April 1, but just moved that back to 10...

Did them pure Local's style, no doubling up, the first time (aka Trailwright's style); any old which way the subsequent times.

Rauner Special Collections Library at Dartmouth has perhaps the most substantial collection of White Mountains holdings--books, papers, maps, ephermera, etc--and the custom is to donate papers to libraries that have similar holdings regardless of your alma mater. It gives them more prominence...

Plymouth State is taking steps to form a White Mountain museum. They've just received the bequest of an extensive collection of relevant materials from Daniel Noel of Intervale. It is hoped that Noel's gift will form the nucleus to attract further bequests. I'm very pleased to see this...

I do not see that this has been posted yet, so here goes. I am paraphrasing a section of Mike Dickerman's latest "The Beaten Path" column published in the March 3rd Littleton Courier.. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names (BGN) is seeking public comment on a proposal to rename Mount Clay in the...

It was the Clarke-McNary Act of 1924 that broadened the Weeks Act. It expanded land qualified for purchase beyond headwaters to watersheds or dropped the requirement altogether and substituted timber-producing land.There's a good discussion of it on the Forest History Society website, which I'm...

Yes, the Weeks Law was a backdoor conservation act of sorts with its ostensible focus on protecting the navigability of rivers as well as commercial enterprises, e. g., mills, on those waterways. The U. S. was still largely disposing land, not protecting it. But the deforestation caused by...

2011 is the centennial of the Weeks Act that created the WMNF. Many events are scheduled for 2011, but Plymouth State has started to celebrate early with a series of lectures on "Protecting the Forest," which runs to mid-April. The opening reception is March 4, 6 p.m., at PSU; lecture series...

I keep equipment in a closet in an unheated garage that I designed for that purpose. Your major concern should be rodents. Cover all possible entries with hardware cloth. I also provided cross flow ventilation, secured with hardware cloth. Monitor it weekly just to be sure. The garage goes as...

In like a lion--5" new snow overnight, 25F, snowiing heavily, but possibly turning to rain at lower elevvations this afternoon. 10 a m update: 7" new down, steady moderate fall continues, winds still light.

Franconia's power, PSNH and NHEC, was completely restored by last night, I believe, and all roads appear to be free of storm debris today. We've had so many wind storms this winter that most of the older and weaker white pines have come down, although that can open up new channels for wind to...

Snowing heavily in Franconia at 1200' now; about 2" down in the last hour or so. Probably won't amount to much at this elevation but local 4Ks are most likely picking up a lot more.

The top of Lafayette is partially obscured today, but it looks like there is new snow above +/- 4500'.
