 | Comments: |
On our continuing quest to stand where a fire tower is standing, once stood or was proposed brought us to Mount Bemis, elev 3725', in Hart's Location, NH. It was #55 out of 92 for us. We took the Nancy Pond Trail to the unmaintained Mt Bemis/Fire Warden Trail. This hike was a lot of bushwhacking due to the fact that at some points the trail was gone. There are a ton and we mean a ton of blowdowns on this trail. We made it to the fire tower remains, explored and ate lunch. We also had some nice views where we ate.
We did find the canister and canteen on the true summit of Mt Bemis. This mountain is also on the NH 3000 Footers list and the NH 100 Highest list.
We did post a video our our days adventure for anyone interested in seeing it. Just click the link.
