Exclusive FTM Report
We started this project many years ago forming the foundations with submitted proposals and were turned down, recently with the demand for a shorter route from Bartlett-Jackson NH thru Evans Notch to Gilead Me. in big demand we decided to take matters into our own hands.
FTM has started a massive project through the wilderness region of the White Mountains between New Hampshire and Maine starting in Jackson, NH and heading to Evans Notch in Maine. There is also a loop from Intervale, NH off Town Hall rd.
We submitted for review our proposal to the US Forest Service and to the former Congressman Jeb Bradley during the comment period of the USFS White Mountain Plan Revision. But since they decided to add MORE wilderness instead of doing the right thing, FTM has decided to take the task on. And man oh man our we ever!!
First up we brought in the heavy guys and turned them loose to get some quick ‘smash and knock down’runs thru the woods in before they where onto us and whoosh we got’m outta thar…yeeeehaaawwww.
Then we sent in gramps. Hes an old tima who said its just like the ole days ‘for them govt folks started tell’n everyone what they could and could’nt do. Ha.. good ole gramps…gotta love’m
Look’t, we’ve seen how AMC operates in build’n trails, and that frankly just takes way to long. If ya got some’thn powered with diesel … use it.
We took this here candid shot of yer typical yak master do’n trail work for the AMC, Duh…. gonna take all day mr. yak master.
No mess’n ’round here, we got trees to get out the way, lets do it. FTM is home to the worlds only chainsaw silencer too! We’ll have some how to’s fer ya ‘case you wanna build one yerself.
Ok so now its crunch time to get this new scenic bypass in place so just look at all those volunteers go at it!!
Make sure ya get those bench cuts right hahahaha….dang these guys and gals are fast!
Ole gramps is still out there put’n in the extra hours make sure we do’t right. Will let ya know when its Ready ta Ride!
