We just completed a small software maintence update. Let us know if you have any issues. Unfortunately I didn't see anything in it that would help @mikerider

Here's a short video of the Gran finale from last night's fireworks show here in Island Pond, Vermont.

Sunrise drone pic from here in Island Pond about a week ago.

Been on the Kanc many times. I grew up just to the south in Tamworth. My old snowmobile club had an unmaintained trail from Wonalancet to the Kanc. Our old club president and his son used to cut it out once a year so the forest service didn't take it away. I never made it all the way through. I did make it up the clubs unmaintained Liberty Trail up to the Liberty Cabin on Mt Chocorua many times. There was some sidehills near the top that sometimes needed some benching with shovels before going across. There were also a lot of rocky brook crossings that sometimes needed dealing with depending on snow depth and type. Funny story. We had a club ride up once with our 72 year old president and his son. There were around 10 in the group. We cut and benched the trail on our way up. When we got there a group of hikers were there. They weren't happy that we were there. They all got together every February and spent the weekend in the cabin. They thought our club having a trail to the cabin would make it a popular spot and ruin future February trips for them. We explained that the only reason we were all there was to help our club president cut and open the trail because it was something he did every year. It's not a trail the average trail rider is going to do.One of the biggest reason we maintained the trail was to make it easier for search and rescue to access the mountain when hikers got injured. Our club president was also a long time member of the local fire department and his son was Fire Chief at the time. Our club president pointed to where he has had helicopters land to rescue hikers. You could tell that it still bothered them. The next day there was a search and rescue call from the mountain. Our 72 year old club president ended up taking one of the guys that weren't happy we went up to the cabin off the mountain in a sled behind the clubs Super Wide track. The hiker that was rescued made a donation and joined the club for several years. He was still a member when I moved to Vermont.

Nice 👍. I haven't been up in over 20 years. Never on a bike. I'm sure it was a blast!

As soon as I saw your first pic my mind instantly said Evans Notch. Fun road during the winter on sleds too!!

I second the motion! All those if favor say I.... It would be nice to see you back and able to post and reply to all threads, Mike.

No problem. I wish I had known sooner. I just sent you my contact info in case you come across anything in the future.

Sorry if anyone had any issues with the site this morning. The SSL certificate expired. I installed the new one this morning. We should be good for another year.

We just completed a small maintenance update of the software. Please let us know if you encounter any issues.

Final call for anyone that was a contributing member in the past to upgrade into one of the new donating members groups before I delete the group. Once deleted the remainder of the members will be moved to the members group. Those members may have to remove some of their older photos in order to post new photos because they will no longer have unlimited storage. FYI ..Contributing members show up on the member lists in bold green.

Just wanted to remind anyone in the contributing members group that I will be deleting this group within the next few weeks. Anyone still in the group at that time will be moved into the standard members group. Anyone that might have paid between the end of March and October 9, 2025 when the new system went online can PM me and I will manually add you to one of the new Donating members groups. Thanks guys!

You are very welcome, Steven. Thank you for helping run the place.

We just completed another small software update. Please let us know if you have any issues.

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble 😔
