It is a remarkable gift: the Society is planning the trails right now.

Ten years ago, when Jane Difley became President, I sent her a piece of my personally-produced cloisonné artwork for her office in congratulations. (So I know she's been President for at least ten years).

In the winter issue of "Forest Notes", appears this accolade:

"This property is one of the finest acquisitions I’ve seen in my time at the Society,” said Forest Society President/Forester Jane Difley. 'Having been in the Morse family’s ownership for the past 135 years, the property comes to us with a rich family history and significant natural resources.'

Based on the Morse-gifted property photo of Lake Winnipesaukee in the Society's journal (page 24), the view IS spectacular! Fully half the lake from Diamond Island southeast appears in view—complementary to this one:

Every island can be identified without difficulty.

That Morse gift deserves its own thread, perhaps under "History".

So why can't we decide where on Lake Winnipesaukee this post card is from?

Is the "lump" in the foreground an island, or a shoreline prominence? If an island, which island?

A singularly-spectacular view of the entire northern Winnipesaukee region can be seen with a drive up Copps Hill Road; however, the view should be similar to Abenaki Tower's, first looking East, then West:

I'm looking, but I can't see it....
