You can indeed find the active bushwhackers by looking at the sign-ins... unfortunately, you may also notice a pattern of snarky/inappropriate/rude remarks that correlates to this "secret society". Transparency concerning these lists is a good thing.

none of the above - I opt for Moose Brook State Park - there are HOT SHOWERS - YAY!!!!!

--HAH! --> perhaps if there is historic precedent?

These are all former firetower peaks, so, having equipment up there is nothing new even if there isn't much equipment up there now other than old footings, for the most part. There were probably firewarden cabins and other things nearby when active firetowers, as well. Basically anything with...

Thanks again!!!! Let's see.... what's next..... NH Firetowers, then 4K Calendar days and probably more bushwhacking... all in this GREAT STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE!!!! :) :) :) WOO HOO!!!!! [finishing my NE67 might happen someday, I suppose]

Well, hopefully that will give Carr some views *again*!!!!!!

It is nice that these lists are available and not so secretive.

Thanks all!!!! I wasn't going to do it but it was too fun to stop!!!!! I walked/jogged/skied :) all trails per the official rules but did use a mtn bike for bikespotting. I have *also* mtn biked AND skied some of the trails. Not sure about favorite/least favorite, but, for hiking...

Very interesting info on the survey tower!!!! Twisted my arm - now I gotta go both places!!!! :)

Gardner Ridge / Signal Mountain???? (in Monroe) Question about Gardner Mountain/Signal Mountain: According to the spreadsheet, Gardner Ridge (elev 2220') is a firetower site with no further info. I was wondering - it shows up on the old topos as about halfway between Hunt Mtn and Signal...

great info and opinions - yeah, the names of the peaks were what was confusing!!!! Based on your replies, I am pretty convinced the current trail does, in fact, go to the highest point. I'm not sure why it's listed as 2071'.... but, oh well - I don't think I need to go back and do the full...

Hi All, Question about the Diamond Peaks Proposed Firetower site: http://www.firelookout.org/lookouts/nh/diamond.htm says the height was 2071'. If you take the Diamond Peaks Trail, it leads to the the East Peak (2050' per the 29th edition WMG). Last week I searched around for a...

There is a really nice, LARGE, and sturdy observation tower right next to the upper ski lift terminal at the Attitash peak. Really cool!!! Went up it this spring after the ski area closed due to lack of skiers/riders (but not lack of snow ;) )

Good info all!!! Thanks for all the replies!!!! I've already been to Big Attitash, so, I guess if I go to Little Attitash, that should cover it :) I have a few more questions about other peaks... stay tuned :)

Question about Attitash-Bear Peak Tower site: http://www.firelookout.org/lookouts/nh/attitash.htm Anyone know where this was? Is it somewhere near the current Bear Peak pod at Attitash? The ski area website lists Bear Peak at 2050' whereas the tower website (see above) lists the peak as...

I've crossed the Pemi at the wilderness boundary and at the site of the former suspension bridge. I would equate those crossings to being a little more difficult than crossing the Wild River near the old Spider Bridge site. Wait for a stretch of dry days in the summer because even if the...

I'm pretty happy with my smartphone (a motorola) in winter - used it at resorts when snowboarding... I keep it in a pants or chest pocket, tho!!! Battery life in airplane mode when hiking is exceptional - far better than my gps...of course I cannot replace the batteries like in my gps!!! (I...

Yeah, i think it would have been easier for their group on snowshoes!!! I was in there a week later on skis - the light tracks I saw might have been theirs (I did not complete a traverse... but, went out and back on the East Side Trail twice - once on Thoreau Falls Trail a little ways). Not...

I haven't had a problem in winter conditions, but, I do carry backups (map/compass/altimeter) just in case. Plus, if I really feel iffy, I can load stuff into my dedicated gps (haven't felt the need in a few years tho).

Hi! Go to the adroid apps store (best to be in wifi mode) and search for RMaps... download that and open it up... from there, go to "Maps" and look at the choices - USA topo maps is good.... when you have a signal. if you think you will be out of range, go to the "more" button and "Make...
