#7 is Mt. Isolation - well-known, indeed.

Check. Two more...

I think PB made a type-o..

Kearsarge is on the list however, it's not #2. (it's not #3 either)

The 40 foot contours threw me off a bit on this one.

I am a big fan of the New York Times Crossword Puzzles. Will Shortz is famous for saying that the clues should be "as unhelpful as possible while still being fair."

Agreed.

It's rare that I actually know one of these just by looking at it.

#3 is Straightback Mountain in the Belknap Range.

No, it wasn't a typo, but I'm suspicious you are right with your hint.

Well then, that pretty much sums it up, don't you think?

#1 is Kearsarge (a popular family hike)
#2 is Cardigan (my daughter's first 3K, first father-daughter hike)
#3 is Straightback (a popular family hike)
#4 is Lake Solitude (an early date hike with my wife who is from Sunapee)
#5 is the Tunnel Brook side of Moosilauke -- the summit is in the lower-right corner. (The Moose via Benton was my 1st 4K.)
#6 is Tom and Field (I added Field after stumping Marc on Tom alone...) (FOT48 2007 (Field))
#7 is Isolation (my favorite list peak, so far)
#8 is Crotched (a popular family hike)
#9 is North Pack Monadnock (a popular family hike)
#10 is Percival and Morgan (a popular hike with my wife, hope to take the kids in '08)

Hope you enjoyed it, and found it interesting, if not challenging. I'm pleased to see a few new respondents!! These peaks all have some special meaning for me.

Next quiz I believe Marc will go back to Maine for New Years.

Thanks for playing!
