ebinmaine 67,277 #1 Posted July 13, 2019 Trina, Meeha the dog, and I took a little walk in the woods. Roughly 7 miles. We peaked Cranmore Mountain which is a ski area. Also Black Cap Mountain. Kearsarge Mountain North Moat Mountain I wish I could label this next one. Dead center is South Moat and Middle Moat. To the right of that is the Red Ridge. To the right of that and just above the pine tree is North Moat. To the left of all of these and behind them is Mount Chocorua and The Three Sisters. On the right hand side kind of tucked in between the treetops you can see what is known locally as Cathedral Ledge. We've been on top of every single one of the mountains pictured above, some multiple times. The village in the foreground is North Conway New Hampshire. 9 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norman those holes were most likely made by a pileated woodpecker. They are a little larger than a common crow. This is not my photo but one I found online. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can make one of those holes in only just a few minutes. Looking for grubs and bugs. There was another tree a lot like that one about 10 feet behind it. Love the views. Hiking is such wonderful fun and exercise. Now that we've gotten a few planned and unplanned spring projects out of the way we should be able to go more often the next couple of months. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 9,130 #12 Posted July 13, 2019 HI Eric and Trina, you two never disappoint taking us on your adventures by way of your great pictures.I have a good friend of mine who lives in N.H. just off of Route 16 that owns a 250 acre Parcel that is undeveloped on top of a mountain that overlooks N. Conway, would make a nice house lot for someone.We have a resident Pileated that has a number of our Hemlocks that look like swiss cheese also. Thanks again for pics, hope you had a safe trip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mows4three 826 #16 Posted July 14, 2019 I'll bet Trina had to "fireman carry" your big arse up most of those peaks! In fact I'll wager she RAN up those trails with you over her shoulders, a Coleman cooler full of cold pilsners in one hand and a picnic basket in the other! Who are you trying to fool?!?! LOL...! All kidding aside...Pretty vistas, good weather and a couple of great companions. Cheers! Dave 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me be the first to tell you that the ivory-billed (extinct cousin) does not exist in this corner of America. 😀 And the area families haven't been keeping them going for decades. 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
