.... www.nhmagazine.com/a-4000-footer-controversy/ .... no longer a NH-4000'er? The USGS small round marker placed into the bedrock on the Tecumseh summit now says 3997'...... survey marker photo ..... www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Tecumseh

That Cannon Mt, $39 NH-resident, age 65+, mid-week pass seems like a steal of a deal. I betcha one can never actually ride the Cannon Tramway to go skiing, using this $39-pass ..... that would be unconstitutional? ......
