A nice and enjoyable trip report. pics were very nice. I have never seen a ring neck must have been a good experience seeing that one. Now i will be able to recognize one. Thanks for sharing.

Nat. Trails day Ditto What Peter said. We also have in the past added a hike to talk specifically about trail maintenance, by showing examples of both conditions of a trail and how to improve it. At the same time we would have a crew working that same trail solving one of the problems discussed...

Mtn. Flower. I tend to agree with J&J. Mountain Fly Honeysuckle. On plate 27 in my OLD Mtn.Flowers of NE (AMC) 1964 edition. I said it was OLD!!!!

Best Time ? After many years of leading an Alpine flower hike for the AMC NH Chapter and Trailwrights we found the mid June period to be the best overall. We have always missed some earlier ones and some later ones as they all have their own schedule. Now for the contoversy side. We found that...

FUN is right Keep up the good work. It is appreciated by all of us maintainers and the hikers as well.

Trails Days Trailwrights has always supported both days. This year is no different. National Trails day June 2nd. will find us on the Mt. Pemigewasset Trail and NH Trails day July 21 (always the 3rd sat, in July),will find us helping the adopter on the Mt. Kinsman trail. Your support will be...

Shredded Wood FWIW Looks like bear to me. If the tree is about 8-10" it could support a med. size bear. A close up of the shredded wood appears to be stringy. So it has some integrity left. I have seen several trees like that with bark and wood torn out the same way with bear track nearby. May...

Thanks Really" NICE" Thanks for posting.:cool:

Craig I just checked the Parks site for the meeting and there is no mention of a meeting at all. Only the April meeting of last spring. I also checked the site for Press releases and nothing there either. Not sure i want to drive up on monday for nothing. Have you heard or seen anything more...

Coyote Interst I hike the Piper/Belknap area at least weekly and have never heard that amount of howling or seen any coyotes YET. On the days going up to work the fire tower and back down I have not seen any. I did see one cross over the E.Gilford trail a few years ago from the tower but it was...

Thought I would give an update on the new 180 foot comunications tower on Mt. Belknap for anyone interested. It is now complete as is the new building 20x50 just to the south of the tower. The picture was taken by George Clough of Gilford and a valuable member of the Belknap Range Trail Tenders...

Not sure where this should be posted but I thought I would try here. If you are a conservationist or not these Bills being proposed by the NH House and one from the Senate may be interesting to you. SB 217 relates to Cannon mt. The rest of the dozen relate to public access to private property...

K,J,E I have the map from the gilford library in my computer and can copy to you via e-mail if you like . It was made by Dave Roberts in 03 and still fairly accurate. Does not cover all of Gunstock but does some of it. Thought I would mention it after reading your post on VFTT " Blues Belknap...

A LOT late but thanks is always a good thing. This is a Trailwrights adopted trail (The only one) outing to get our basic maint. done for the winter. With help from the "international community" (Motabobo,Jean-Francois,and Marjorie) and Trailwrights Peg,Dan,Brewster,Gregg and Trailwright Bratt...

Awsome Sage!! WELL DONE Sage and Congratulations.Hope to shake your hand at the awards. A fine accomplishment for the entire FAMILY.:cool:

I was recently asked about what does the group Trailwrights do. I will try and give a brief answer. Some may already know and some may not. Basically we are an educational trail maintenance band of volunteers and when not putting on workshops we often help out adopters wanting to do more than...

Peg and I will be helping out the new adoptor of the Dan Doan trail. He requested that he wants to get more experience in learning about drainage and waterbars.With that in mind I am going to make this sat. into a hands on work shop if anyone is interested in learning or just want to help out...

Mt. Hight is Worthy!! I agree, that Hight is worthy of being listed. That is why it is on our Trailwrights 72 summits list, as are several others. It is one of Pegs favorites, along with "Pegs Perch", the ledge view point on the way between Middle and West Osceola. Really nice pics. Thanks for...

Getting Higher ! Tremendouse going. I knew you could do it. That was a good way to acclimate. Hike high, sleep lower. Looks like the trail crews will be busy.:) Thanks for the report and the pictures.
