I'd be curious to know what the accuracy rate for Olympic level shooters would be on a hand gun at that range.

Olympians use specially built .22 pistols at 50m. most over the counter calibers drop about a foot over 100 yds. (estimation only, and fluctuates depending on specific ammo and pistol). a competent shooter should be able to hit a silhouette target at 100 yds about 50% of the time with open sights. |

Give it time; it happens to all forested areas eventually...
In the meantime Mt. Washington does have a reputation: Mount Washington, New Hampshire: The Most Extreme Weather Observatory on Earth -- https://weather.com/science/weather-...xtreme-weather Kind of reminds me of a guy I used to work with who moved his entire family back east to NY after having gone through the 1971 Sylmar Quake (about 6.6 on the scale); about a year or so after he moved I ran into him in Downtown LA; I asked if he was visiting and he said, no, he and his family had moved back to LA; I asked what happened and he said there had been one of the worst blizzards in East Coast history during the winter he was there; I said "But, you were frightened by earthquakes." He replied "Yeah, but big quakes are pretty rare and blizzards are almost every year; besides, here in LA, I don't have to shovel away an earthquake every winter day"... BTW, the current temperature here in LA, in December, is 74 Degrees F... You guys enjoying your 40 Degree F. temps in Boston?... <O>

Bah.... you can drive up there. Go to the 'daks for real East coast mountains. All the fun you could want in an alpine style situation, but without the lack of air.

Well that may be but the claim was that the east didn't have anything above the treeline. Our mountains may be short but we do have our pride.

Yeah, I'm actually shocked your treeline is so low. 6,000 (that peak you showed) is just over half way to our treeline in PNW. Is that because your trees are mostly deciduous vs conifer we have in the west?

Reminds me of the movie, "The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain"...
Maybe, with all the remakes nowadays, there can be a US version, "The Bostonian Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Slightly Taller Hill"... <O>
