  • Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains
    Passing Through: The Allure of the White Mountains The White Mountains presented nineteenth- century travelers with an American landscape: tamed and welcoming areas surrounded by raw and often terrifying wilderness. Drawn by the natural beauty of the area as well as geologic, botanical, and cultural curiosities, the wealthy began touring the area, seeking the sublime and inspiring. By the 1830s, many small-town tav- erns and rural farmers began lodging the new travelers as a way to make ends meet. Gradually, profit-minded entrepreneurs opened larger hotels with better facilities. The White Moun- tains became a mecca for the elite. The less well-to-do were able to join the elite after midcentury, thanks to the arrival of the railroad and an increase in the number of more affordable accommodations. The White Moun- tains, close to large East Coast populations, were alluringly beautiful. After the Civil War, a cascade of tourists from the lower-middle class to the upper class began choosing the moun- tains as their destination. A new style of travel developed as the middle-class tourists sought amusement and recreation in a packaged form. This group of travelers was used to working and commuting by the clock. Travel became more time-oriented, space-specific, and democratic. The speed of train travel, the increased numbers of guests, and a widening variety of accommodations opened the White Moun- tains to larger groups of people. As the nation turned its collective eyes west or focused on Passing Through: the benefits of industrialization, the White Mountains provided a nearby and increasingly accessible escape from the multiplying pressures The Allure of the White Mountains of modern life, but with urban comforts and amenities.

Project Background This trails concept plan provides guidance and recommendations for developing a comprehensive trail network at the Powers Bluff County Park in Wood County, 2.5 miles southwest of Arpin, Wisconsin. This trail system will capitalize on the growing demand in the Midwest region for trails that are optimized for mountain biking. It will serve the needs of all recreation users by adding upon the existing Powers Bluff Trail network with new multi-use trails and the creation of bike- optimized trails for all ages and ability levels. Master Planning for Powers Bluff County Park (PB) has been ongoing since 2003, and was revitalized when Wood County acquired 223 acres of property directly north of the existing park. Since that time, planning has been done to include a multi-use shelter building, fishing pond, ice skating rink, northern entrance road with parking lots, improvements to the existing ski/tubing infrastructure, additional trail development, and support facilities.

  • The White-Mountain Village of Bethlehem As a Resort for Health
    AS A THE White-Mountain Village OF BETHLEHEM AS A Resort for Health and Pleasure. BOSTON: PRINTED BY RAND, AVERY, & CO. 1880. INTRODUCTORY. In preparing the following pages the editor has en- deavored to present in a convenient form such information as experience has shown to be of use to the tourist and health-seeker. Eschewing all high-flown language, he has confined himself to a plain description of the town and its surround- ings. Such a work is necessarily more or less of a compi- lation, and the editor frankly acknowledges his indebted- ness to Osgood’s “ White Mountains” and to Mrs. E. K. Churchill’s pleasant little work on Bethlehem. To “ The White-Mountain Echo,” and its accomplished editor, Mr. Markenfield Addey, he also is under obligations for almost the whole of the chapter on railroads, steamer, and other methods of approach to Bethlehem. The chapter on climate is a reprint of Dr. W. II. Gedding’s article which appeared last summer in “ The Boston Med- ical and Surgical Journal,” with corrections and addi- tions, the more extended experience of the writer having enabled him to add much that is new and interesting. Although originally written for a medical journal, it is sufficiently free from technical expressions to be perfectly intelligible to the general reader. I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BETHLEHEM, ITS HOTELS, BOARDING-HOUSES, ETC. Located in the midst of a section of country abound- ing in natural beauties, the little village of Bethlehem presents a combination of attractions rarely met with at our summer-resorts. There

The purpose was to develop a design and construction proposal for a cargo bike from a strategic market perspective, that could broaden the audience of Rawbike to include more female users. The Rawhauler is a powerful cargo bike with attitude for those who need an agile, multifunctional and modular cargo solution. The Rawhauler makes it possible to carry heavy loads and climb the steepest of hills while having a pleasant biking experience in crowded commuter traffic. Literature studies and strategic tools were used to design a branding strategy where a small company like Rawbike can develop a strong brand to stand out in the crowd. User centred studies were conducted to ensure a product well adapted to the needs and wants of its users. The insights gained from these two fields were then used to develop a competitive concept that both extended the existing portfolio and appealed to the whole Rawbike community, regardless of gender.
