My guess is the 1984 map shows the current route, but looks inaccurate based on the mapping methods of the time. This was the pre-GPS era.

I rode my gravel bike on it all the way to Boundary Pond a few weeks ago and it was fine.

They were flying low when I was at Elbow Pond yesterday.

Osceolas and top of Scar Ridge had a dusting on my way over the Kanc this morning.

At the summit:

I really wish I had applied for the Magalloway one when I was in college (20 years ago!)

I ate at Sunday River Brewing Co. yesterday for the first time in a long time. Food and service was good and prices were in line with other similar establishments. Looking forward to seeing what they do in Gorham.

13” on Bald Hill in Albany. Very wet and heavy. Power just came back on after being out since 11pm Friday night.

They are in full bloom on Bald Hill in Albany, NH on the Tin Mtn. Conservation Center property.

I fat biked it this winter after it was broken out by a group of snowmobiles, which is legal as it is just outside the wilderness boundary.

Elevations on the NGVD29 datum were tied to sea level, but the current NAVD88 elevations are tied to a benchmark called Rimouski on the St. Lawrence Seaway in Quebec. It is held as zero elevation. There is a new datum slated to come out in 2022, but it may be delayed.

It has a bigger effect on horizontal coordinates. NH state plane coordinates are around 500,000 Northing and 1,100,000 Easting.

The elevation on the disk is based on a GPS survey by the Young Surveyors Group of the NH Land Surveyors Assoc. back in June. A report and/or article will be published soon. The GPS survey is more accurate than the LiDAR data for this particular spot.

Thanks for the update.

I’m guessing these barriers are temporary, until the word gets out that no parking is allowed.
