A question for anyone that has gotten a tree from WMNF - how was the health and particularly the fragrance of the tree? I ask because I love a good smelling tree but haven't been able to find one for years and recently talked to a woman at a tree farm and she confirmed that trees just don't...

Love Zealcliff Pond for it's location - high up a ridge and settled into a small basin. Greeley and Gentian are also fave's

Thanks for the response...sounds good!

Anyone been out here? Three Ponds Shelter near Stinson Lake. Looking for a short hike to get some natural solitude...looks good on the map. Any input ?

I am on an AMC volunteer trail maintenance crew starting on June 19th and going to the 24th. However, I was just informed that unless we get 1 more volunteer it will probably be canceled. I know it's extremely short notice but anybody interested? It involves working in Pinkham, Franconia...
