Hi Nartreb, There will be a legend that explains what the various different types of lines represent. The little dotted lines are for trails, snowmobile trails, and skidder roads that I was able to follow and map with my GPS. They aren't being maintained so you may not enjoy the hike if you...

I wonder if anyone has done an audit of how much and for what NH F&G spends money on. I am not a hunter or a fisherman, but I see a lot of F&G enforcement people driving around with various forms of transportation, carrying guns. What is the cost of rescue vs the cost of enforcement? Note...

I think that Rocket21 and I can do all 48 in under an hour. In another post, a while ago, he had some nice photos of a trial run.

After spending a month, clearing some of the hiking trails in the Virgin Islands National Park on St. John, I can report that they are all cleared. The ice storm seems to have caused no damage. The new superintendent of the Park Service there has made some improvements but he still has a hard...

Hi, Your choice of GPS is great. I have used a program called FUGAWI to interface with the GPS receiver for downloading and uploading tracks, routes, and waypoints. The nice thing about FUGAWI is that you can scan in a map, geolocate it, and then use it with your GPS. As you get more...

Hi, I have done the map layout work in Adobe Illustrator, which is perfect for maps and generally liked by commercial printers. The finished map size will be about 27 " by 30". The paper is waterproof and tear proof. I will ask for more input later as I get a more finished product sorted out.

Hi to all, There will be a new printed map of the Ossipee Mountains available before next sunner. Presently it shows the roads, logging roads, skidder roads, hiking trails, streams, and ponds. There will be a name for each trail, and the distance between trail intersections will be shown...

View "of" the top 11-2-08 Here is a photo of what I believe to be one of the weather observers taken yesterday, which was far nicer than average.

Hi Andy, If you need the length of any trail, I can measure it on mapping program. It is a great project for a cold rainy day as I can sit by the fire inside and measure away. I plan to provide this information when I get around to printing the map.

Hi Kids, If anyone really wants to waste a beautiful day, I can provide a theodolite, complete with distance measuring equipment, and we can lug it all up to the three Faraways. With a couple of hours of measurements, and perhaps more clearing to get a clear view, we could determine once...

Hi Roy, Originally, the trail, shown on Dave Roberts old map, followed a series of switchbacks as it went up the ridge, staying mostly to the west of the present trail location and not going out on the ledges as it does presently. This original trail was on a series of either carriage or...

Hi Roy, I am aware of the many discussions about Faraway and I hope the issue can rest until someone has some new, documented information to bring to the issue. Perhaps you might do some research and perhaps find out when and who first used the name Faraway. About the map, if you check...

Hi Roy, I would like to make a comment regarding the accuracy of the current USGS topographic maps VS the older "Plane Table" maps. In general the current maps are much more accurate. The USGS standards for a map are that the position of all "TESTED" points is better than +/- 1/50 inch on...

Faraway, research, and maps Hi to all, especially Roy, I hope all of you out there will review the latest version of the Trail Bandit Ossipee map (10/20/08) and report any errors, omissions, or anything else you think should be added, removed, or corrected. I am familiar with all the...
