The view is not the best in winter but NHDOT still plows that area. What a waste!

Maybe its time to raise the NH gas tax by 5-cents so the state can do more with the roads. As cars get more fuel efficient, the state gas tax raises less money on a year by year comparison, and there's no money for trimming the trees.

Something to consider: NH license plates went from 'Scenic' to 'Live Free or Die' in 1971. For one year in 1963, it said 'Photoscenic' .....that's a word one doesn't hear anymore. If NH wants its scenic outlooks to be photoscenic, they need to raise the gas tax, or something! Just like a car, boat, or a house ....... roads need to be maintained....and that takes money coming from somewhere.

Maybe put up a pay toll gate so it costs you 25-cents to drive into the rest area ......... right!
