Old Man in the Mountain
 

Did I hear right that the Old Man in the Mountain had collapsed?
I cannot remember what state but does anyone have any info???

yes.. It did fall apart. Slid right off the face of the mountain.

New Hampshire.
(It's on their state Quarter).

New Hampshire I believe. He died of erosion.

It is also on their state license plate.

I never got to see the real thing. Who knew?...

I was afraid you would be talking about me (at Wengen, in the middle of the Alps) ... http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...um/redface.gif

Here's the site for the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire. http://www.mountwashington.org/cam/deck/index.php
They have, among other things, a photo of the Old Man superimposed on a photo of what remains.

It's an interesting site for other reasons. I have it bookmarked and check it from time to time, since they have a camera that takes pictures every 10 minutes or so, during the day.

Wow! For a second there, I thought my guru had collapsed...I am so relieved it ain't so!

Thanks for the info and especially the web site!

It is truly a sad day in New England.

Oh, please. You had to have an extremely rich imagination to actually see a man's profile out of this dumb rock, and the formation had already had more face lifts than Joan Rivers.

There are many wonderful and natural things to enjoy and explore in the White Mountains and in New England; the craggy rock at Franconia was not one of them.

I hope the wretched voters of New Hampshire have to pay to repaint all of their road signs.

I think that the voters might say:

"Don't tread on me."

I hope Tom Ridge is looking for the terrorists that did this.

Must be a Vermonter or maybe Mainer. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...um/biggrin.gif
