442.     NH TRAILS
Another addition to the "Wanda's Wanda-rings" series in Exeter, RI, carved by NEET who used to live up north in the White Mountains of NH.

I've always enjoyed the trails of New Hampshire, from the Metacomet - Monadnock - Sunapee Greenway in the south to the Cohos Trail in the north, now linked up as part of the New England Trail. My biggest concentration of backpacking in NH, however, came in the fall of 1987 after finishing up my 2nd PCT and 3rd LT, when I spent a delightful month or so climbing all the 4000 footers in New England plus doing all the side trails to the AT in the Whites, etc. To mark these miles without doing the whole "Wanda's Wanda-rings" loop, simply start from the usual gate off Bates Schoolhouse Road, hike up past where the yellow blazed trail splits off to the right and continue from there about 750 miles to a rock on the right about 8 steps off trail. Beside that rock and at the base of a 2 inch diameter beech which is hugging the rock find a SPOR containing a gorgeous Granite State stamp representing "NH TRAILS" carved by NEET of MA.
