That's one of those "for the people" rules that makes NH special, and worth the (few) taxes we pay.

I agree with you lg, I am loathe to give the government any more of my money. As for public ramps, does the state fund any on Winni? It seems to me that the individual towns set the fees/parking restrictions for non-residents. See Bizer's list of launch sites on bizer.com
