This important task was accomplished by two of Jackson’s smallest residents, Amelia Anzaldi, age 4 and her sister, Jocelyn, age 3. This very same ribbon will be utilized for the ribbon cutting ceremony when the barn is rebuilt and opened in its new home. Plans currently call for the barn to be “Up Again in 2010.” There was something special about seeing so much of the community, young and old, turn out to help send the barn on its way.

Each is an oasis of vintage hospitality in high mountain places. Nestled like jewels within the crown of the White Mountains, the eight huts are places where trails, hikers, history and the ghosts of those whose footsteps you follow all intersect. Deep into these mountain trails, the huts preserve a glimpse of ourselves as we were in a simpler time, when tourism focused more on the natural beauty and resources of the area and less on the manmade commerce and attractions which came later. Each hut offers a journey of discovery. Each is home to a “croo” (don’t ask, there is no answer), that call these distant out- posts home for the season. They are a dedicated cadre of outdoor types who care deeply about what they do and as a result do it very well. These huts are places where the walls can indeed talk…the shelves are lined with guidebooks and logbooks which speak volumes about those who’ve passed this way before.

Page A6 - The Mountain Ear, Thursday, July 10, 2008 Into the High Mountain Huts — All Eight in ’08 through time to cozy Carter

While the history of the huts goes Cozy Carter is a welcoming sight for hikers. back to 1888, Dodge became hutmaster (Steve Caming/Mountain Ear Photo) at Pinkham Notch in 1922. The next decade would see the system expand dramatically under Dodge’s stewardship, as he drew a like minded circle of hospitality oriented mountaineers around him, all of whom put in their time on this very trail to this very hut. Dodge’s tenure lasted until 1959, but the man and his life’s work (including co-founding the Mount Washington Observatory with Bob Monahan) will never be forgotten in these parts. As we hiked onward and upward, I could feel the “world below” falling behind. The woods and rocky trail com- mand one’s attention and the scope of existence becomes only the next step and the hut beyond. And then your mind begins to wander…thinking about how they carried everything up here; how isolated a place it is to work and you wonder how much has changed since it all began so many years ago. Eventually, you reach the crest and a hidden world comprised of lakes and boulders begins to reveal itself. A sign informs you it’s only 1/10 of a mile to the hut and your eyes search for a first glimpse. At the second little lake you pause and take in a dramatic wall of boulders known as “the ramparts”. If you’ve done some homework, you can almost overhear the ghost of Joe Dodge with his friend, colleague and eventual biographer Bill Putnam, as they stood SUMMER ANTIQUES & just there and discussed the rocky for- mations. And since Dodge’s biography FINE ARTS AUCTION recounts this exchange, let’s listen in on what they had to say: “There’s a lot of theories on how this SUNDAY, JULY 20 - 2 PM got to be, Willie, all these boulders and lakes right up here at the top of things,” Preview Noon Sunday Joe Dodge noted. “Some guys say there was a big fall of rock off Carter Dome Held on the Grounds under tents at the and that dammed up those lakes.

explanation?” Dodge asked. Putnam responded, “Well Joe, I’ll bet an excellent case could be made for what they call a pro-talus rampart. You look at the shadow area and this is a mighty protected spot from the heat of the day. I wouldn’t be surprised that when the main ice sheet melted away a big hunk survived in the shadow of Wildcat Mountain here, maybe for a few hundred years. That’s plenty long enough for a lot of rocks to slide right down over the ice and snow as the mountain slope stabilized and just pile themselves up out yonder.” To close the subject of the geol- ogy and climate of Carter Notch, we will give Dodge’s response as the last word on Putnam’s theory: “I guess we don’t live long enough to appre- ciate climate and how it changes…But we know there were glaciers here once, a few thousand years ago, and they aren’t here anymore, so the climate has changed and that’s that. If it can change once, it can change again.” This conversation took place in October of 1948.

And it is a diverse group of hikers who show up — some with reservations, others who randomly appear as through or section hikers on the Appalachian Trail (which runs right through the White Mountain hut system). For this time, I was lucky enough to have my introduction to the huts be on a quiet Monday night at Cozy Carter, and there were only five of us, plus the two hut staff, making for a night even more reminiscent of the early days. Dinner was amazingly good—not just the good that something is when you’re really hungry, but truly delicious. Most decidedly not what one would expect to find in the middle of the wilderness. While AMC meals are well renowned for their quality, it still seems like magic when they keep appearing with course after course out of the tidy and efficient little kitchen. Joe and the boys never had it so good…well, they probably did, too! There was a fine (and not too long) natural history presentation and walka- bout offered after dinner, courtesy of the in-hut naturalist. But, it wasn’t until later, when the 50-plus-year-old logbooks came down from the high shelf that the voices of the past joined us at the table, to mingle in the cool night air.

Supermarket has been there when needed for past 10 years Jen’s Friends commends old friends Hannaford’s NORTH CONWAY — As Jen’s Friends Cancer Foundation marks the milestone of 10 years of service to the residents of the Mt. Washington Valley they can’t help but acknowledge the many that have helped them along the way. Over the years Jen’s Friends has assisted close to 100 members of the community who are dealing with cancer, offering them financial assistance with living expenses such as groceries, gas, utilities and housing. Though the organization’s funds are provided main- ly through fundraising events and private donations, many may not realize that businesses large and small have donated products and services directly to the families with needs including fire- wood, furnace repairs, car repairs and an actual automobile. The Jen’s Friends clients all have individual needs, but one constant has been groceries and specifically the help provided by the staff at the customer service desk at Hannaford’s. Representatives from Jen’s Friends Cancer Foundation recently acknowledged the many forms of help the organization receives from Over the years the employees who their friends at Hannaford’s supermarket in North Conway.

Bertha Rogers was a young woman born in 1899 in Beverly, Mass. She came each summer with her father to the Jackson Falls House. She grew to love the area and wanted to do something for the children of Jackson, some of whose families needed assistance with life’s neces- sities. She began what became a long tradition of providing scarves, mittens, hats, games and candy each Christmas at a town-wide holiday party. In 1961 Miss Rogers decided to officially incorporate the Jackson Community Association, granting the organization an endowment to support an annual Christmas party as well as "to promote and aid charitable and worthwhile causes in Jackson" at the discre- tion of the trustees. In 1963, the Jackson Community Association began to award scholarships to Jackson students pursuing post-high school education, and more recently supporting projects in the Town of Jackson and purchasing needed supplies for the grammar school. Jackson’s generous benefactor, Rogers, died in 1989 at the age of 89. Officials of The Jackson Community Association would like to see its endowment grow so that they may continue to award scholarships and fund other worthwhile projects in the generous Cast members from the Mt.

Chocorua is the mountain’s extensive and varied web of trails. There are no fewer than eight major approaches to the summit. These can be combined into numerous loops, even if you don’t go all the way to the top. Last Tuesday Carol and I decided that, due to the all-too-familiar threat of severe afternoon thunderstorms, we didn’t want to risk the exposure on the open, rocky ridgecrest. We still got a great Chocorua hike in by fashioning a woods-walk loop over the “Three Bs” on the west side of the mountain: the Brook, Bee Line and Bolles Trails. On this moderately difficult route the streams and the forests were the stars, along with one open ledge that served as a sunny lunching and snoozing spot. Our launching point was the Paugus Mill trailhead on the southwest side of the mountain. To get there, follow the gravel Chocorua Lake Road and Fowler’s Mill Road from Route 16 by the south end of Chocorua Lake. At 3.3 miles from the highway turn right on Paugus Road and drive 0.8 mile to the above: The Bee Line is a less travelled parking area. trail leading through attractive forests Fair warning: on a calm, humid early in a remote valley on the west side summer day, this trailhead seemed to be of Mt.
