A little gem

[NewHampshire]

While heading up to do trail work on the Wildcat Ridge Trail Silentcal and I noticed this little gem on a birch tree that we had both managed to not notice until this point. Thought I would share this rather cool piece of hiking history:

Nice find. I spotted this one a couple years ago on the Garfield Ridge Trail.

This is the kind of "incidental" documentary photo that is unlikely to be a wallhanger, but almost certainly will be a keepsake.

Nicely done.

Way cool JohnL!

As best as my searching can tell I think these markers date from at least 1968 or later.

I have one hanging in my kitchen. I found it in the woods while doing trailwork on Moosilauke.

I can't add much to what has been said. Historical artifacts are interesting subjects. The photo is well composed, and the marker is well presented in the even light.
