Prospect Mtn. (Rump) 2714' & Beaman Hill
Prospect: The south face of Prospect is steep, but hikeable from most any bearing. Steep... but no cliff bands. We traversed the entire ridge and explored all bumps, but found no jar.
Beaman Hill: We followed an overgrown logging road (hobble, ferns, grass, briars). There was a fairly good moose herd path through most of it. Road took us to within feet of the summit. This approach actually had views... a treat on a NH500!!!
