A rare event for sure. But, I do remember the Total Eclipse July 20th 1963. Don't remember the exact % where I was. Just guessing, 90. Just remember it looking like twilight in the afternoon. I'm all set with the sh*t storm the traffic will be like on I's 93 & 95. What I get from where I am...
Since we've drifted away :LOL:, from Sawyer River Road, I have a question about Rocky Branch Rd. Non-winter parking was at a gate, just before the first of the 2 bridges going over Rocky Branch River. The first being an older wooden bridge. The second the newly replaced. My question is, could...

As mention, there are estimated elevations, making the a couple 4010's questionable. https://www.amc4000footer.org/newenglandfourk.html
I was doing the NE67 first, so these pics are from that peak-bagging. So imagine my surprise when getting to Spaulding and Redington. :unsure:
I've got know idea what's going on with this "new" bushwhack. It doesn't look like it's going to take you through the magnificent glades. The traditional bushwhack is to go in at the height of land and head NW on the 3200' contour. I've done it in winter, summer and fall. In summer when the...
