Both Meredith Neck Rd, about six miles long, and Barnard Ridge Rd, about one mile long, both belong to the State of New Hampshire, for some unknown reason, as opposed to belonging to the Town of Meredith.
Considering that the Town of Meredith does the snow removal, and does the pavement patch jobs, and that both roads are local use type roads located totally within the Town of Meredith, maybe the State of New Hampshire would be very happy to unload these roads onto the town for the bargain basement price of one dollar, and then the town could be responsible for the road's condition, whether it be good or bad, through summer rain, winter snow, hot temperature, cold temperature, heavy truck loads, and the high price of asphalt paving and a road rebuild; it could be a well maintained town road, and not an unbelievable crappy state road. I believe the last time the Meredith Neck Rd got repaved was in maybe about 1996?
So ..... welcome to New Hampshire .... home of the miserable state roads; where everyone needs to be driving a vehicle like a Jeep or a Ford Explorer..... Live Free and Drive .... but you need a Jeep to get around ....around here!
All things considered ..... just like we have a state bird, the black capped chickadee .... a state tree ... and a state fruit.... it seems like the legislature should come together and designate some one car like the 1997 Geo Tracker - $795 on craigslist ..... as the official NH-state car!!!
