I am interested in various minor geologic features in the Whites, I subscribe to the two compass, one GPS with extra batteries. method.

Estimated Value of Magnetic Declination Here's a web site which might help you determine the correct value of magnetic declination. You can plug in, both your location and the date http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/geomag/jsp/Declination.jsp Jim cahoon

glaciation in the wHITES An interesting question…something a geo-morphologist, or Geo-Forensic specialist (is there such a person) would probably be able to reconstruct. Many of the rocks of the White Mountains are only 150 +/- 25 million years old. These are the young ones, which we all...

I met Alec Goodman at the Home Depot in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, at about 4:30 am, Saturday June 25, 2005, for a day of plotting geologic reference points on Mt Lowell in New Hampshire. The weather people were forecasting a hot day. Several hours later we arrived at the beginning of the...
