This hike brought us back to Green Mountain, Effingham NH, It was #11 on the list of 92 fire towers that are standing, once stood or were proposed. We wanted to re-do this mountain because the last time we were here we filmed this and added 2 other fire towers to the same video. We are updating the Fire Tower map and are trying to have each tower on a separate video on the map. We also wanted to go to Hanson Top.
The Dearborn trail was very slippery in spots due to the leaves. We hit a trace amount of snow near the top of the Dearborn Trail. We also had about 3/4" of snow on the Hanson Top Trail. Weather called for 50 degrees, never got out of the low 30's.
As usual we did post the video to YouTube for anyone interested in seeing the hike. Just click the link...
