2 Questions about NH

[Pat K]

 I dont think it is a good idea to get alll this mass moving fast down a mountain. The only thing that would stop me is if I hit somthing solid like the Lodge.

I know we have better snowboarding than FL.

I know we have better snowboarding than FL.

For sure! 

I was previously in Idaho, and I know the west is different than New England, so it should be interesting.

BIG DIFFERENCE!!! The west has snow. The east has ice. Oh well, it's still a rush going downhill!

My Dad had to learn how to ski in the west.  It's totally different.  West coast is powder and it's a much softer sking experience.  The east is a controlled fall on ice. 

I've never been so this is second hand info.  I had hoped to get a chance to learn this year, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen after all.  Maybe another year, I do want to learn.  I love outdoor sports!

LOL.

Yes Keith, we can work something out. The great thing about snowboarding is that it's great alone time, but also fun to do with others. I'm always happy to have a snowboarding buddy!

Thanks, I already know what my next call to FTL will be about.

I'll call into FTL and plug NH Underground.  I'll say that I found a new buddy on the NH Underground Forum.  A snowboarding buddy    Then, I'll recommend that other people go to the NH Underground Forum if they are looking for new buddies 

It's all for freedom.

[Pat McCotter]

Out of sight, out of mind?

[intergraph19]

Too many of them too. >_<

[Kat Kanning]

I've never seen any of those

1. Are there fireflies?

2. How's the snowboarding?

We have TONS of fireflies here in July and snowboarding is GREAT if you have snow. NH is very HILLY even in non-mountain areas, especially in HILLSBOROUGH county.

And yes we have tons of ANTS, especially in the spring when it's wet ? they are huge and black! So, keep your sugar bowls covered tightly! I refuse to use sprays....and yes the tiny brown ants are the ones who love the sugar. The black ones just come with the spring moisture.

No See Ums are blackflies. They are terrible in May - June.

Also I love the JUNE BUGS that whap against the screens in the summer....big whoppers!

I had a BOBCAT here this past summer, (what a sound!) and my friend in Gilford saw a mountain lion in his driveway last week!

Please explain the difference.

[Heyduke]

Bobcat are little guys

Mountain Lion are also known as Catamount, Puma, etc and are still believed extinct from the New England states in deference to continued non-confirmed reports of sightings.  Much larger cat than Bobcat or Lynx. 


As to the ants--if they are large and black--they aren't interested in sugar--those are wood-eating carpenter ants, and a sure sign of a nest.  Very destructive little bastards they are...

We even have them way up here above the notch.

Luckily, not nearly as many as further south. Connecticut had a lot, so this is like nothin'.

[Kat Kanning]

We had lots of ants in our yard/driveway this spring.  I don't recall them coming into the house.
