I am just getting wind of this project and do not find mention of it in a forum search. Nor do I know much about it yet other than the fact that the HV lines aim to transmit power from Quebec to NH/New England. There's a first public meeting on Monday in Sugar Hill and Franconia; presumably the...

A sad story. Condolences to friends and family. No information about where he slipped and fell into the river on Friday. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/N/NH_HIKER_DEATH_NHOL-?SITE=NHMAL&SECTION=STATE&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT More info here...

I've seen this same bear feeding on apples and mountain ash and rooting for grubs on our field every second or third night for the last two weeks or so. He comes around 7 p.m., a hard time to photo given the low light, feeds for about 20 minutes, and then saunters off along the same route. I...

Can anyone tell me where the vantage point(s) for these 19th c. paintings of the Saco with mountain vistas are? I suspect there are several different sites and that most if not all of them are actual not imagined scenes. That would be consistent with the 19th c. artist's views and practice in...

Hitchcock's 1890 relief map of No. NH restored Big job; big map. It's 12' x 16' and weighs nearly 1.5 tons. I wonder what the one at Pinkham weighs. Anyone know anything about the history of the vogue for these maps? They are produced in lightweight plastic versions now...

From WMNF: "The Valley Way Tentsite, located on the north slope of Mount Madison, will be closed to all use from late morning Sunday August 8 through midday Thursday August 12. During this time Americorps crew members from the NH Conservation Corps will assist the US Forest Service with site...

. . . is an allegorical book by the French surrealist writer Rene Daumal. I have not read it. It looks like it might be a tough read. But I like this (translated) quotation from it: "You cannot always stay on the summits. You have to come down again... So what’s the point? Only this: what is...

Due to deteriorating condition, Resolution Shelter is closed, and the immediate area is posted off limits to camping. It was earmarked for removal in 2008, but grandfathered until it became hazardous. That time has apparently arrived. No one could argue about its sorry state, but it's still a...

I'm seeing differing forecasts for 03580 for Tuesday April 27, varying from 40s and rain to up to 4" of snow with a winter storm watch through the afternoon of 4/28. Anyone want to call this one? (Never take your snows off until May 1.)

3-4" of heavy wet snow in Franconia Notch. Plows working away. 32F. Watch out, lots of people up here took off snows prematurely. It's never over 'til May.

After a brushy trek yesterday at around 2000', I found the first tick of this season walking down my dog's back this morning. It was a big "dog" tick. Given the unseasonably warm temps this spring, I'd planned to start Frontline Plus early for the dogs, April 1, but just moved that back to 10...

Plymouth State is taking steps to form a White Mountain museum. They've just received the bequest of an extensive collection of relevant materials from Daniel Noel of Intervale. It is hoped that Noel's gift will form the nucleus to attract further bequests. I'm very pleased to see this...

I do not see that this has been posted yet, so here goes. I am paraphrasing a section of Mike Dickerman's latest "The Beaten Path" column published in the March 3rd Littleton Courier.. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names (BGN) is seeking public comment on a proposal to rename Mount Clay in the...

2011 is the centennial of the Weeks Act that created the WMNF. Many events are scheduled for 2011, but Plymouth State has started to celebrate early with a series of lectures on "Protecting the Forest," which runs to mid-April. The opening reception is March 4, 6 p.m., at PSU; lecture series...

For the snow wonks, where's the best chance of a 2009 White Xmas in the northeast? White Xmas is defined as an inch or more of snow on the ground on Dec. 25. Answer is here: http://www.pressoffice.cornell.edu/_cs_upload/cms/releases/36502_2.pdf

Clear off the snow (if you can): "Michaud said that police can issue a citation under the state RSA 265:95, which prohibits driving with "nontransparent material" on the front, side or rear windows that can obstruct the driver's view." Quoted from...
