What is it?

[Bob Farrell]

Mike P. and myself hiked up Mt. Washington via Tucks and Lion Head on Saturday, 11/19/05. There wasn't much snow and it was hard on the ankles with crampons on. We descended the Auto Road.

I found something on the road and I have no idea what it is.

Does anyone know what this is?

 

[Michelle]

My guess..........some sort of traction device for the snowcat?

Like a stud from the track??!

 

[Waumbek]

Dr. Ball's long-lost umbrella? It's shrunk a bit but it's been awhile since he used it....

 

[Chip]

exactly how big is it ?

"They" are working on an internet search technology that can search shapes instead of words, like some sort of cad/cam software search engine. we need that now.

It's true. I worked on a project exactly like that back during the dot com boom.

It does look like a traction device.

It's 2 1/2 inches tall. It has a loose washer near the base and it may have had one near the top. It's rusty and pretty heavy for a small ?

Sno Cat Stud

Like Michelle says................It is a stud from the Sno Cat.

Looks like a picket fence and a car port to me.

That's the handle to my light sabre.

Yoda's gonna be pissed I lost that thing again.

others would know better than I, but does the SnoCat have "studs" on those tracks?

peace.

A hood ornament from a Russian tractor?

 

[Pete_Hickey]

It's 2 1/2 inches tall.

Not being from the area, I'm not sure, so I ask: 'Are there any 'little people' (gnomes,
leprechaun, etc that live in the area? While small for us, it would be quite larger for them. It could be something like a hitching post for their horses.

But then again, I'm not sure if the 'little people' live that far east.

I would say it’s a stud from the track off the snowcat or a snowmobile.

 

[Rick]

Aw Heck, Everybody knows it a mortar round - Hope you did leave it in your house or car......

(Seriously, it's been a long day....)

 

[Jeff-B]

Its one of these:

Snow Cat STUD

 

[Bob Farrell]

Thanks Jeff -B. Now we all know what it is. I wish I found it before we passed the 3 snowcats on the way down.

 

[Weird_AL]

it looks like the back of a truck bed....the cris cross pattern gives it away....

what's that little metal thing on top of it?
