Alstead, NH

[WF MASON]

I'm sure most here in the northeast have seen the pictures on the news of Alstead , NH , after 10'' of rain last weekend , washing away a big part of the town, roads, houses,people.One picture showed a sap holding tank washed into the trees downstream, I spoke with Liz Bascom , they are operating on cell phones as the phones and power poles were washed away , access is from the road from the north. No internet access or orders. Thank god they are at the top of the mountian.

One thing about it, if water in the ground is what's needed for sap production; We shoud be in great shape!!! Thats if the trees don't wash away frist.

Weather update! I live just short ways north of Alstaed, Keene NH. area. It started raining here late yesterday after noon and it rained very hard all night,and is still raining very hard at this time!! Lets keep our fingers crossed for the folks in the affected areas!!!!!! Most of the small dams can't take much more of this weather.

The Pumpkin Village guy can't make it this year. Just got the wife out of the doctors office and have to stay around the homestead. When you guy's go don't believe a word of any story Rick tells. Now Rooster on the other hand his stories are all true. :D Try to make them happy stories since Jim will be crying in his beer about the Yankees. :D Take care and have a great time. :D

Al..... We'll miss you for sure. :cry: Gotta take care of the momma for sure ! What's this BS about my stories ? Tall tales maybe, but ya gotta make the stories JUICY right. :roll: Never a lie though :wink: I agree with Jim,hope the weather tames down for that weekend. We have been up there before when the culverts washed out and had to wait it out a spell for the town to redo the roads.
