WMNF main office: about one mile off Rt 93-Exit 27 in Campton, watch for the brown signs.

Interesting how the tree tag permit doubles as a parking permit/recreation pass at a trail head parking lot while out searching your Christmas tree!

Today on Nov 30, one could drive to the WMNF Forest Service headquarters in Campton, pay five dollars for a tree permit, and drive to the depot camp parking lot on the north side of Waterville Valley for cross country skiing on the Livermore Rd, a single lane dirt forest service road, 7-miles long, closed to cars, and search for that perfect Christmas tree, all for five bucks, without having the $30/year car windshield sticker pass. Except, as a federal office, (603) 536-6100, it is probably closed today on Saturday?

So, who says that skiing at Waterville Valley is ridiculously over priced, and you don't get hardly any exercise because the lift does all the effort?

And yes, the WMNF has forest service cops in white suv forest service police cars that say 'Law Enforcement' in big green letters ..... so's you could get busted for removing a Christmas tree without the 5-dollar tree tag ....... http://www.fs.fed.us/lei/working-for...nforcement.php ..... so, don't even think about doing that!

Did you know that before the WMNF was established in 1912 by the Weeks Act, it was commonly called the 'forest reserve' ..... a-yuh! .... and the Town of Livermore was a happening NH town ...... now, Livermore ain't no more!
