Hey everyone! First post here. This forum brings back many great memories of growing up in the Winnipesaukee region.
I have a quick question, and hopefully someone here can be of assistance...
My family and I hiked the Mt. Shaw summit trail last weekend, passing the pine grove campsite near the bottom of the trail. When I was a child I attended William Lawrence Camp in Tuftonboro, and once a summer the camp would hold an overnight at this (most beautiful) site. Unfortunately, last weekend when we explored around, we found the campsite to be littered, and in a general state of disrepair. While still a beautiful spot, it was truly saddening to see rotting benches, old pots and pans, and trash strewn about.
I am wondering if someone on this board has contact information for the landowner of this area of Mt. Shaw (I've been informed it is one of the Hunter brothers, possibly Jeff). My family and I would like to spend a day in September to do some general cleanup of the trail and campsite, and in return have permission to use the site for an overnight campout. I'd love to pass on the great experience I had as a child here to the rest of my family.
If anyone can assist in helping me contact the landowner it would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
