Most waters encountered in those states have decent (or better) fishing, and most offer temporary licenses, 1 day/3 day/7 day (some/all of those periods) that are lots cheaper than a full year non-resident license. Can't make more specific recommendations without knowing your itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the hiking party was covered in snow but mostly powder dust from the dust cloud. By that point I think most of the heavier debris has pulled up short but the powder cloud can rush ahead at like 60-80mph for quite a while before dissipating. It would’ve been hard IMO for the “real” burial debris to make it up that little gully. Had they been down in that terrain trap though might have been much worse off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansfield but when I looked, it says closed right now. @powderfreak might have more info on that. If that is your type of thing, you should take a ride up the Mt. Washington Toll Rd. if you're in that area. It can make you a bit queasy at times if you have a fear of heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slide ran a few hundred feet down through the woods. They are currently working on reinforcing the hillside. From what I saw on the progress my guess is next weekend it reopens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Yeah looks like black walnut to me. If you decide to plant some be careful what you plant them near because they are high in juglone. I was growing some in pots here last year, but a vole killed all but one of them and even that one had to sprout back from the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
