Moonlit Monadnock July 7th and 8th Last minute crackpot ideas often kick ass. Yeah! Lots of ass. Walking into work Friday morning last, a co-worker commented hearing a radio DJ proclaiming the night to be weird and crazy because of a full moon. Although the moon wasn't full until...

there are several spots, some better and secluded than others, at the junction of 19milebrook and wildcat ridge trails at the requisite 1/4 mile away mark. make sure you spend time in the notch and in the ramparts...lots of fun!
