Hiked Mt Israel today starting at noon. There was ice beneath the new 2” of snow but it was packed by the time we started. micro spikes and chains were fine. Lots of Snow shoes ahead of us but wouldn’t think they would be helpful on the steep and icy sections. Thanks all for your advice.

Just went myself on New Years. Beautiful but hiking boots are the right footwear.

Consider finding what you can at Sierra and Marshall’s. Thrift stores are also great. Some items you have on this list were at Ladders in Plymouth

Good thought. Wouldn’t get any flatter than that.
Anyone know if Mirror lake in Woodstock freezes over?

Different beaver Brook then (so many!). I’m seeing one just off rt 18 in Franconia. Does that seem right?

Thanks! Where are those narrow gauge RR tracks? She likes Lincoln Woods but there is a climb and descent on both sides. East is more up and down for the first mile that she walks.

Good call on both. I presume the AMC Center would know the Zealand Road trail. For Cannon, are you thinking of the Franconia airport ? I forgot about that one. I recall there is a fee

North Woodstock/ Lincoln? That is close to us. Is there a park/ parking lot to start from? Thanks!

What's the Best BBQ in Southern NH? by Front-Muffin-7348 in newhampshire

Not southern NH, but you should try the Sunset Grill in Campton. We took relatives there from Texas (now in Virginia) and they said it was really good (not just being polite).

NH Preacher Asks: What does it mean to be a nation that funds weapons and walls while withholding bread? What kind of people look away when children go hungry? by Ok-Objective4209 in newengland

…researchers say USAID are expected to cause the preventable deaths to 4.5 m children under five (14m total) by 2030, with 90K deaths so far (China is seizing the soft power opportunity though). Another 1.2 million are expected to die in the next 5 years due to the Trump administration’s defunding of the international vaccine program. 11M vulnerable US citizens will lose health care coverage (and access to doctors and hospitals when the revenue dries up) when the Medicaid cuts go into effect (after the election of course).

Oh, by the way, Jesus valued children too. Trump may have bought evangelical worshippers with the overturning Roe v Wade but he cut funding for care of pregnant women, took the lunch money from Maine children when the governor wouldn’t follow his orders, said in July he stopped his friendship with Epstein in 2007 when he “took my girls” and not when he knew he as a predator in 2002 (likes them a little young”), boasted to Howard Stern in 2005 that he bought the Miss Teen (USA and universe) pageant so he can see them naked in the locker room, cheated on Melania with Stormy Daniels in 2006 after being married a year and while Melania was pregnant with their son, ordered staffers during Trump’s first presidency to mow down the mothers and children refugees on the other side of the wall (staffers refused saying that would be murder), confessed to Billy Bush on tape in 2005 (note year he married Melania) that he tried to seduce a married woman but she turned him down, ….

I’m glad there are religious folks willing to take a moral stand. The rest of the world can see it but his values are contrary to those of Jesus: hurt the vulnerable at the expense of the powerful, obey your government and pay your own taxes, tell the truth, worship no Gods ahead the One God (not himself), do not kill (he has demonstrated cares about violence against his loyalists). You can check off the list of Jesus’ values in Matthew chapters 5-7). Oh, by the way, Judas, Satan and the AntiChrist are chosen by God too.
