In the midwest, the only news we're getting from NH is a story about a week of rain, accompanied by a photo of a house being moved downstream. It says SW NH - sounds pretty close to Nashua.

Ie how nasty is it? And thanks in advance to the field workers out there this week!

Rick,
It has not been too bad in Hollis. The major stream (Beaver Brook) on the map has slightly higher than normal water levels. Water features in the woods are still dry though. Forecast is for more rain today and 50% probability for Saturday/Sunday. Probably no sun tanning this weekend - helps for the Goth look on Haloween.

Thanks Alar. Hope you guys are OK, even if you aren't exactly dry! Let's also hope the rain isn't bad enough to move around any of those all-so-important boulders :)

I was just out this afternoon streamering the Prologue course for next summer's 1000 Day and found a boulder that had moved. It made me recall a boulder which I was planning to use for a control down at Blue Mtn (Lake George) which disappeared between the mapping and the course setting--no doubt lost to boulder thieves, for use in landscaping. But this boulder today was only moved, and not gone altogether.

Boulders do move, they are nothing else than the back of ducking huge monsters which have been asleep for a few thousand years. They are scared of streamers and attack badgers, especially when they are held on leashes (the ABs). - We had so much rain in the Hudson Valley that the rocks gets soft and spongy, meaning they will move soon. So watch out, Alar, Friday night might the time for the boulders to crawl. Or Halloween?

Oh, make no mistake, boulders do move.
