Help with Waukewan Street

[ApS]

1) A few years ago, a bigger bomb went off north of Wolfeboro: I asked my firewood provider why this new delivery was cheaper than last year's delivery.

He said he'd just cleared 500 acres off Rt. 28!

2) Also, there's money in "slash": I once asked for a handy 6' length of hardwood rather than his having to drag it uphill to the chipper.

My request was declined—you'd think I'd asked for gold!

3) I'd previously promised a photo of a similar "bomb" that had cleared an entire mountainside in Pennsylvania: in the interim, the town of Hazelton had erected a huge roadside barrier!

4) As to Meredith, I've never seen so many logging trucks as those operating in the Meredith/Center Harbor area: fully loaded—plus towing a fully-loaded trailer—they're a roadway bomb in themselves!

Their speeds would suggest they're "getting away" with something—and just maybe, they are.

5) My cottage of 50+ years abuts a recently-foreclosed development. The good news (for me) was that the abutting airport runway started out without any trees! Forest abutting the runway—which the developer promised was "to be preserved in perpetuity"—is, however, being cut away.

How else are you going to get a view of the forests without cutting down the trees?

Bottom line?

I don't think anyone's house can be "far enough away".

No shortage of 48' trailers loaded with tons of woodchips exiting Rt 93-Exit 24-Ashland enroute to the nearby Bridgewater Power Plant where woodchips get converted into kilowatts and loaded into the electric power grid.

Aproximately July 11, 1949 was when New Hampshire switched from an annual timber tax on standing living trees to a 10% local tax due when trees were cut for timber. Used to be, woodlots were cut a little bit, every year, to raise money to pay the local timber tax which was thought to be a bad practice by sitting Governor Sherman Adams who had a background working in Lincoln, NH, for timber companies.

There's this magical monster big machine in Bridgewater where woodchips go in one side, and electricity comes out the other side!
