    Mask mandate on Federal property, including WMNF

    Although I haven’t been able to find the full text, it appears Biden’s order instructs all agencies to follow CDC guidelines and require masks if you can’t distance (6 feet). That would require mask wearing on most commonly used trails in the WMNF.

    UFOs this Sunday near the northern Presidentials

    Not that kind of UFO! While enjoying the hazy view of the Northern Presidentials Sunday, we noticed several bright spots moving across the landscape just in front of the mountains. From the speed and apparent height, we assume they were flying objects. Did anyone here see these objects from a...

    New parking area in Randolph NH

    There is a very nice parking area / trail head at the end of Randolph Hill Rd. A trail "New Trail" leaves here and connects with Mt. Crescent Trail and Cook Path. The Carlton Brook Trail also leaves from here. I visited Sunday January 17th, and it had been plowed. There is room for 15- 20 cars.

    National Forest Land in Success

    While driving to the trail head for the Success Trail this weekend, we passed a new post with a National Forest Property sign attached. This sign was at the side of the Success Pond Rd., along the access road to the trail head. None of my maps show this as WMNF property, and I was unsuccessful...

    USFS removing Rocky Branch Shelter #2

    The AMC website has posted that this shelter is in the process of being removed. I was not able to find information on it on the WMNF site. I know this shelter has been in poor shape for some time, and is in a Wilderness area. The post does say they are creating tent pads in the area. FYI...

    SW Twin

    After encountering punishing conditions last year, and failing to make the summit, our small group decided to give it another try this fall. The group grew to 7, then settled at 6 for SW Twin, round 2. Due to the shorter days this time of year, a significant reason for our turnaround last...

    Spaulding Lake July 27,28 2013

    Compass anomaly

    While bushwhacking this weekend, I found that my compass needle deflected as I moved my hand in relation to it. Not having this happen before, I assumed it must be the gloves I was wearing (it was a bit chilly for bare hands). Others in the group had no problems, so we followed their...
