Not to far from where I usually camp. I wonder what Lincoln, Nh is like. I was thinking of making another camping trip within this month.

Loon Mtn, lost its main bridge, it collapsed a few days after the storm, Rtes 112, 302 an part of 16 are closed due to washed out road and/or bridges. NHDOT is working like crazy to get things fixed for leaf peeping season or NH stands to lose millions of tourist dollars. Where do you camp I can tell you if you can get there or not.

Usually Big Rock on 112. I was actually planning a trip up next weekend. So Loons main bridge where the zip line was was washed out?
?

You can get to Big Rock, not sure if any of its washed away though, I didn't hear that it did. Yeah The bridge right beside the zip line.

Wow amazing how powerful water is. I was called into work the morning of the storm, and Ive never seen so much water coming from places were water never flows, but nothing like this, but we also didnt get as much rain. Like you said, I think Big Rock will be open, If not Im sure I can find another Camp Ground, Maybe Lafayette off of 93?

Ive been looking on the NHDot website. Some of the scenic rds I travel are closed or have some major road work. I'll have to send you a PM to get some different routes to get to some places id like to show my friends. If you dont mind.

Sandwich Notch Rd. is now closed until further notice, If you didn't make it before it closed you missed out on something great!

Wow, we were ready for it here in NJ, full evacuation of all coastal towns, and it looks like we dodged it, and you guys up North got hammered.
