Ho...So glad you enjoyed this blog posting, Beckie! Hope you have an equally great experience on your hike to Zeacliff.<br /><br />It's great to read that you've climbed to Whitewall. It's ranks high on my list of favorite mountains. In some ways, it's unfortunate that there are no trails to Whitewall. But on the other hand, it's sort of nice to have a few special places for adventurous hikers who are willing to travel to places without trails. ;)<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-2856501797943466762016-09-23T21:36:23.980-04:002016-09-23T21:36:23.980-04:00Hi John, Thank you for this timely report!

Great shot of Whitewall; we were crazy enough to climb up that last year. <br /><br />BeckieBeckie Janihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726019076093080288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-2692153602454409302016-09-11T22:38:16.498-04:002016-09-11T22:38:16.498-04:00Hi Rita,

It’s one of the many places I’ve never visited. However, I have read about it, and seen photos taken from there. It looks like a very beautiful part of America.<br /><br />Regardless, I keep hoping that some reader of my blog will be able to provide some enlightenment about the origin of the name “Zealand” that is used to identify a particular area of New Hampshire. From what I’ve been able to determine from my research, the origin of the name appears to be lost to history.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-74467101197956729732016-09-11T21:18:54.960-04:002016-09-11T21:18:54.960-04:00Hi John,

Did the same explorers who "discovered" New Zealand also make a stop in New Hampshire?<br /><br />The photos from this hike are fabulous. That dump-off at the top of the cliff, well, with my knees not as supportive as they used to be I would have had to be pretty careful coming down at that spot!<br /><br />Also I love that you showed a picture of your lunch spot. When Tim and I are out for a hike on a nice day we often stop on rocks in a particularly scenic area for lunch or a snack. <br /><br />Looks like another great hike!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-31511906619182279022016-09-06T21:15:51.544-04:002016-09-06T21:15:51.544-04:00Thank you Karl for reading my blog, and for your g...Thank you Karl for reading my blog, and for your generous comments about the photos.<br /><br />For sure, "Zealand " is an interesting moniker. None of the reference sources that I have checked have been able to definitively pin down why this area is so-named. And equally intriquing is the question you raise as to why the cliff along the Zealand Ridge is named Zeacliff, rather than Zealand Cliff.<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-43032498188075630362016-09-06T11:41:23.886-04:002016-09-06T11:41:23.886-04:00Hi John,

I also particularly like the Pemi Wilderness sign on the trail...looks nice and inviting.<br /><br />Your info the the "Zealand" features up north is interesting. If it was called "New Zealand" on early maps, I would assume Zealand may have been or is a town in England for which maybe it was renamed. However, I wonder why they named the cliff (I assume it's an actual cliff) Zeacliff and not Zealand Cliff to follow suit with everything else. Why not Zeapond, instead of Zealand Pond...etc. <br /><br />Another great one, John!<br />Karl<br />Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872637235573785618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-72503731432520529682016-09-06T09:50:00.910-04:002016-09-06T09:50:00.910-04:00Hi Jamie,

Thank you for your trail work! A great job is being done by you and the other adopter(s) of this beautiful trail. <br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-44981693238543751602016-09-06T08:27:33.460-04:002016-09-06T08:27:33.460-04:00I am one of the Zeacliff trail adopters, how is th...I am one of the Zeacliff trail adopters, how is the overgrowth looking?
