i'm not getting this.

Well, it's an old book, 1962 to be exact. It's been fun to disassemble the code from the numbers. Since I didn't understand the preface, but wikipedia was helpful with power residues... It's just some theory on prime numbers. I got the book for 3 dollars.

Hi John;

I know it is beautiful up there and sparsely populated.

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:16:27

True, both statements are true. But you can still find work if you look hard enough, but it might have to be whatever you can find, and then adapt to do the job, a lot of physical work primarily, except for some touristy towns, where retail is available like North Conway, NH.

bobbym · 2012-01-21 07:18:52

Yes, I see what you are saying. I would think the small population is a plus for the area.

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:20:58

Well, I prefer to be around a lot of people, but when you hike, you run into people, especially at the top of the mountain and have interesting conversations.

bobbym · 2012-01-21 07:21:59

What is the most hiking you have ever done?

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:28:28

I've climbed into tuckerman's ravine, at the bottom of the ravine about 35 times I guess from 1999 to 2001.
And then another 30 hikes around miscellaneous (montagnes) mountains like Mt. Moriah or some in the great north woods a little bit, but never up Mt. Cabot yet. Up Lafaette maybe 4 times, and the Bond Cliffs are really cool for views 360 around.
Mostly NH, also Katahdin in Maine, and some tiny hills in VT, and Mt. Monadnock near Keene Jaffrey Dublin NH where I am now. There is another Monadnock Mt. in northern VT on the Connecticut River I met a bear on, but it didn't hurt me, it just walked away.

Ever camp out up there?

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:37:11

Only twice did I camp out, but always at the bottom of mountains where it is warmer, but still chilly enough that I got up at night and did jumping jacks to warm up, that was Autumn, a two day hiking trip to the bond cliffs and back to near Lincoln on the beginning of the Kank (highway windy).

bobbym · 2012-01-21 07:38:04

No fires allowed up there?

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:38:11

Not rushing air windy, but turny hairpin turns windy.

bobbym · 2012-01-21 07:38:59

Did you use a tent or those new sleeping bags that hang from trees?

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:39:16

None allowed I believe, unless in your campstove.

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:40:40

Once, I just had warm clothes and a knapsack to stick my feet into at night. It didn't rain.
The other time was warmer and I had a tent, but I didn't hike far, just camped out off the trail since
I didn't want to drive all the way home that night.

bobbym · 2012-01-21 07:41:01

Okay, I got it. The bear was a grizzly?

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:42:31

That's a great idea, sleeping bag between two trees, I never thought of that. I'll have to invest in that idea.

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:43:31

Not a grizzly, just a brown or black bear, about 5 feet or 5 foot 6 inches high.
Grizzly's are Alaska I think not New England.

bobbym · 2012-01-21 07:44:50

I did not know that. That is still a pretty big animal, were you armed?

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:46:54

Never, I don't even take a jackknife with me ever. I just bring clothing, rain protection sometimes thin but works in emergency, but then I go back down the mountain if I'm not well equipped. Also, some water and food. Once I stopped a gal from marring up a tree with a jackknife though.

bobbym · 2012-01-21 07:48:43

What was she trying to do? Sometimes they dig in to hang their sleeping bag.

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:52:02

No, she was just on the side of the trail about to put in initials on a little pinetree the most heavily travelled trail on Mt. Washington, a 2.4 mile trail to Tuckerman's ravine, then another couple miles to the top I think.

bobbym · 2012-01-21 07:53:37

Is it usual for a bear to just retreat like that or did you expect more trouble?

John E. Franklin · 2012-01-21 07:59:04

I've seen another bear in our yard in south-west NH too in broad daylight and I talked to him, but he just smiled and walked into the woods near the wetland. I was about 110 feet from him and 5 feet from my door if need to get away.

I don't know the statistics, but I've had good luck so far. Once a squirrel chewed right thru the turquoise screw plastic top of a skippy peanut butter jar when I was camping on Cape Cod with my long ago wife.

bobbym · 2012-01-21 08:02:37

That is good luck. Went hiking up state New York did not realize it was bear country.
