Sunny skies and watery vistas Summer perfection at Flat Mountain Pond By Steve Smith Contributing Writer few times every summer we are treated to the per- Afect weather day: sunny, 70s, and breezy, with low humidity. Last Tuesday, July 27, we had one of those rare days. Carol and I decided to hike to Flat Mountain Pond, one of our favorite destinations. Flat Mountain Pond is a mile-long swath of water nes- tled on a high tableland amidst the mountains of the Sandwich Range Wilderness. It is named for the two, separate Flat Mountains that enclose it on the northwest and southeast. Its long watery vistas and its quiet isolation make this one of the sweetest spots in the Whites. The route we took there – starting at the western end of the Flat Mountain Pond Trail - is very scenic as well, with tum- bling brooks, a pair of waterfalls, beaver meadows, and a relaxing stroll along the bed of the 1920s-vintage Beebe River logging railroad. To reach the trailhead, we turned off Route 113A onto The south end of Flat Mountain Pond is a great destination for a moderate nine-mile round trip hike on the south side of the Sandwich Whiteface Intervale Road by Range, starting from Bennett Street in Sandwich. Along the way to the pond there are waterfalls, beaver meadows, and an old logging the sharp corner between railroad grade. Several mountains can be seen from various points along the shore, including one of the two Flat Mountains (left) and North Sandwich and Wonalan- South Tripyramid (right) in this photo.

Gary Methot overall 2010 Club Champ at NCCC Aces are still wild this week at Eagle Mountain By Pru Smith Contributing Writer t took quite a while for the "The Spirit of Donald IRoss" to make himself felt this season at the Eagle but he's been very active lately. Two gentlemen, coincidentally both from Cape Cod, were rewarded with a visit from "the Spirit" this past weekend. On Friday, Richard Stevens of South Dennis, Mass. chose his driver to hole out his tee shot on the 190 yard second hole much to the delight of witnesses John Cunningham and John Halupowski. Then on Sunday, Jim Price of North Falmouth, Mass. aced the 160 yard sixth hole making it the fourth Hole in One at the Eagle in ten days. Corroborating witnesses to the event were Willow Price along North Conway Country Club 2010 Overall Club Champ Gary with Stanley and Kathleen Methot (center) is joined by runner-up Bill Burns (left) and Jim Warren.
