Mt Tecumseh: 4003' or 3995' ?

Located to the left of 4180' Mt Tripyramid and behind 2030' Red Hill on the map above in post #14, it seems that maybe Mt Tecumseh, home to the Waterville Valley ski area will maybe get downgraded from 4003' to 3995' according to a believable post in the Appalachian Mountain Club, Feb 24 2019, face book. Something about measuring it with something called 'Lidar'.

2030' Red Hill, located in the lakes region, Squam Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee town of Moultonborough is also blocking the view of 4314' Mt Osceola which is a totally excellent 4-5 hour hike, up and down, with a huge view from the summit. Mt Osceola is a way better hike here than Mt Tecumseh, and Osceola had a fire lookout tower on the summit https://firelookout.org/lookouts/nh/osceola.htm from 1910-1985 with an interesting set of stairs to get up top the tower, plus a small kitchen style sink inside the cabin on top the tower.

Definitely not fake news here! ..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Tecumseh

New Hampshire has 48 different mountains that qualify as 4000'ers, under the rules as related to adjoining peaks, for a long time like for over 100-years, and if it proves true then Mt Tecumseh, always the lowest 4000'er, would be one less 4000'er for a total of 47. Truly a big deal for the NH hiking community ..... omg! How ignoble to suffer the loss of that 4000' summit status ....... Lord have mercy! ...... please, everyone pray for Mt Tecumseh that it truly is a NH 4000'er as of yesterday, today, and forever!

With the price for a Waterville Valley lift ticket now priced at 93-dollars on Saturdays and holidays, me-thinks the snow gods got annoyed with that too high price, and decided to lower the height of their mountain, down to 3995', to show their disapproval! So, it's higher price, and lower mountain!

So, let's see ...... in December 2017, the speed limit on 12-mile long Route 49 going to the mountain, was increased from 40 to 50-mph ..... which had absolutely positively nothing to do with Governor Sununu ....... and now in late February 2019 ...... the summit height has been marked down to 3995' ...... boo-hoo-hoo! ...

All season long, the ski area has been dealing with many problems trying to keep their aging lifts up and running ...... and now their mountain gets marked down to 3995' ....... oh well ..... that's the ski biz ...... going down hill!

https://www.facebook.com/AppalachianMountainClub/ .... Feb 24 w/ 59-comments on this, so far... and 4003 different, high quality, AMC photos ...... oopsie, a recount now says it's only 3995 different, high quality, AMC photographs .....oh no and egad .... such an unhappy diminution .... boo-hoo-hoo! ...

So, build an eight foot tall, pile of rocks, high up atop this mountain, upon that Mt Tecumseh summit spot, a memorial 8' tall rock cairn for the historic leader of the Shawnee, Chief Tecumseh, 1768-1813, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tecumseh. This lengthy Wikipedia reference for Chief Tecumseh really takes a good look at early american history between England, Canada, the U.S. and Native Americans leading up to the War of 1812.
