Hmmm..... So - if you were "huffing and puffing" and might see the bridge directly over your right shoulder - you'd probably have just finished a climb of about 3,940 feet..??

Actually... no.
Mt. LaFayette having an elevation of 5,249 ft. and Cannon Mtn. having an elevation of 4,100 feet leaving Franconia Notch, through which I can see your house, between these two mountains has an elevation of only 1,931 ft. ....so, as you can see, it wasn't much of a climb at all.

John: I tried to re-calculate from your precise examination of the moon shot. Dean said you were pretty close. If you had the pin set just a bit more to the North West, I'm wondering if that would be even closer.
As for the "huffing and puffing", here's my climbing experience. From the Pile o' Bones Ridge vantage point, I was able to capture an image of the "bridge". If I remember correctly, I had to climb at least 12 feet to be able to get the picture. Pretty much tuckered me out for the day. Cheers, Jack

Well - if you are not pulling my leg (which is highly likely..??
 ) and given the proximity to the major N-S highway...Just as an FYI - I spent many summers in Glover and Barton... The major town would be Lyndonville where the line-of-sight between the 2 peaks would fall... However - just south of that - St. J. might be a possibility... As well - since D=R*T and it's a tad north of a 4 hour drive from So. CT - I'm guessing that the answer is.... Somewhere in Vermont...!!! What did I win???? JD |

Hmmm.... maybe that house we saw wasn't yours at all.
 Move your line between St. J and Lyndonville (closer to St. J) and.... fly straight on until morning.... and you'll find the land of the lost boys (me and Dave and Danny)

If that is really where your camp is (in that region) - it is stunning..... Almost killed myself on a motorcycle on Rt. 16 (the first time I ever drove one - and the last time I ever drove one, either..?
 Long story..).. Can't say as though I blame you for keeping your "hideaway" private, either. There is a lot of land up there, and when hunting in years long ago since past in that area, it was rich with birds and deer - and I'd hardly ever bump into another bird hunter...I guess those days are long gone, though.... BTW - can you still buy VT hunting licenses at the general stores in that area? As well - I'm guessing "JJ Newbury and FW Woolworth" both failed about the same time -but they were neat "old time" stores. I think J.J. Newberry was Hardwick and F.W. Woolworth in St. J..? Best to ya'! JD |
