Meeting Time: 12:30 PM

Event Coordinator: MO
Lancaster, NH
US

Max # People: 15

Trip Guiding / Event Fee: No, I will not be asking participants for money

Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate

SUMMARY:

Due to the weather these past few days this event is moving from Dixville Notch to Lancaster, NH.  Hiking conditions in the Notch are such that the dynamics & safety of that hike has change (especially on top of Table Rock - the eclipse viewing area). 

 

Don't forget to bring your ISO certified eclipse eyewear.

 

NOTE – The NHDOT & local news are warning of travel delays - especially as you travel into the region of the eclipise.  We are hoping, by moving the hike to Lancaster, you will avoid the most significant of these delays.

 

SCHEDULE:

12:30 pm  Hike Mt Prospect (Weeks State Park).  Please be on time - factor in increased travel time.

We'll have a quick lunch at the top - so bring your lunch. 

You will need boots & traction (microspikes).  

Forecast: the low 50s & sunny.

 

2:30 pm - To view the eclipse in its totality we need to head to intown Lancaster - about 4 miles away from the park.  Totality is about 60 seconds duration on the north side of town.

 NOTE:  There maybe limited parking in Lancaster so we may want to carpool into town - then carpool back to Weeks.
