Hope this helps!

But Lincoln is on the Franconia Ridge. Does that make it Presidential?

Not until we have presidents Flume and Haystack. You have to have at least three peaks named after a president to be considered a "presidential ridge". :razz:

I have you. There are two more presidents near Lincoln. Garfield to the north and Big "Coolidge" to the south. Thus making the Fraconia Ridge Presidential by your own rule!!!

Well... shit... I guess it does :razz:

And I will even throw in Cleveland in the for good measure!

Nope. The Town of Lincoln, NH and the peak that looks down on it are named after Henry Fiennes Pelham-Clinton, 2nd Duke of Newcastle, 9th Earl of Lincoln.

And I will even throw in Cleveland in the for good measure!

And I'm pretty sure that Mt Cleveland is named after Francis Cleveland (Grover's son). So also not presidential.

Drat. You are being picky. At least I got Garfield or is that named for the cat.

Rules are rules! I'm not sure about Garfield or Coolidge. There is a lot of "Coolidge" around the area (including my street). I've tried to find out in the past if that's named for Calvin or not, but never found an answer.

Whee

I still haven't found "DownEast". Is there any skiing there?

You can't get there from here!!!

 

[wa-loaf]

Since when did trip reports get so exciting?

Down East:

In New England, the term Down East is applied in several different ways. In the narrowest sense, Down East refers to the coast of the U.S. state of Maine from Penobscot Bay to the Canadian border, but it is sometimes used as a loose term for the entire eastern portion of the state.

Camden Snowbowl is closed for the season.
