It's probably pretty easy to twist an ankle and not be able to walk back down the trail to the starting point, and car parking lot.

Today at noon there must of been about 30 different hikers up on the summit of Mt Moosilauke, a 4802' mountain in the WMNF that overlooks Vermont. Hiking up the three mile long Beaver Brook trail it's all rocks, roots and erosion so takin a slip would be pretty easy.

Most all the 48 different 4000' mountains that make up the popular hiking spots are in the WMNF, which is federal property so how's the state gong to colllect any fee or tax on that?

According to an article in today's Concord Monitor, the state raises about $190,000/year with the one dollars fee charged to boat, rv and snowmo registrations.

Why not just raise the snowmos and rv's from one to ten dollars. Compared to the price of the machine that's pretty reasonable.
