J&J, Thank you!!! Yes, we were at Deer Mtn above Pittsburg when we saw these on Fri when leaving the access road. Thank you again! /JCE

Any help in identifying these would be appreciated... We were up north of Pittsburg yesterday and found these on a shrub on the trail out. We've seen them once before, in the winter, and they don't seem to open. Assume they are seed pods of some sort, but not sure. Looked online to see what...

It would be nice if there was a GPX file that contained all the Towers / locations that people could download or, if they don't have a GPS, view all the points on something like Wikiloc / Google Earth. If nobody has this done this, I'd be happy to get it started and then the community can help...

Need help with identifying these.... They were all over the place up at Rosebrook Mtn (Bretton Woods). Can't seem to find what they are - any ideas? Thanks! I tried to include both the leaves as well as the seeds / "flower" pod.

Anybody know why Stix has been closed the past two weekends? Stix was a favorite place for breakfast but its been closed the past two weekends (maybe during the past week as well). The sign on the door just says "Closed" but it isn't like Todd to have the place closed unless there is something...

Tried Northern Embers We were at Northern Embers yesterday (3-Aug-2013) - they said they had been open 6 days. There were no burgers on the dinner menu but it had a good variety of foods. We got the Lobster Stew (soup of the day) and the Fish and Chips. Susan, the owner along with her...

Harebells out yet? Anybody seeing any Harebells yet this year? It was about this time last year (end of July) J&J had some great shots of Harebells and other great flowers in the Great Gulf. I'd love to see some this season. Thanks!

I really enjoy all the great pictures people post of the spring (and later) wildflowers. I looked for a 2013 thread and didn't see one although last year's thread was started in mid-march. As said last year by w7xman Please join us this year, as the history of these threads provides an...

Need help to identify and a nice Pitcher Plant flower.... Saw this and other Pitcher Plants at Mud Pond, near Pondicherry today.... Not sure what this is, I listed two pics. They were on Mt Success last weekend. Any help in identifying is appreciated. Thanks, /JCE

Drove from Woodstock NH to Rangely ME 2-Sep, no issues As an FYI, Drove from Woodstock NH to Rangely ME yesterday, no issues. We were concerned that maybe Berlin or Milan or some of the other towns may have had flooding by the Androscoggin river but fortunately there was no damage. When you...

This picture is from a hike we did back in 2007. Never knew just what this was - seems pretty "official" with the number "3" (never found "1" or "2") and pretty well made - note arrow going through both wooden platforms. It was on a side trail going from summit to a "views" point. Any ideas...

I understand, from web surfing, that "Nanamocomuck was the oldest son of Passaconaway". I have been unable to find what the meaning, if any, is of Nanamocomuck - anybody know? I also checked "The White Mountains: Names, Places and Legends", first edition but its not listed. Thanks!

Thank you!!! Very much appreciated. /JCE

I've tried to look on-line, through this and past year's VFTT flowers thread and in Wildflower books - I can't find out what this is - any help appreciated. Thanks!

In the book "New Hampshire as it is" by Edwin Azro Charlton (see http://books.google.com/books?id=nAM6TZurLVcC&pg=PA434&lpg=PA434&dq=summit+Mountain+cave+%22ice+house%22+nh&source=bl&ots=mVbOsOxLQ2&sig=5w9f_6KlG4qaiXI5WMWslcmCdmI&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result ), there is a...
