New Hampshire:  140 above and below   dbhg-@comcast.net   Oct 02, 2003 17:06 PDT  ENTS: .... The Claremont NH Stand is currently the Granite State's showpiece. The list shows 11 white pines over 150 and 12 over 140. But believe me it likely has at least 20 over 150 and maybe 25. It has double to triple that over 140. We will look more this month.    I suspect other stands around the state will up the total of 150-footers by between 5 and 10. The odds favor it, but not more. Eventually, we'll get wind of the candidates and confirm them one by one. But for the present, Massachusetts is the clear winner.    Vermont must have a couple dozen 140-footers, but so far they have eluded us. The sure aren't in the timber-ravaged Northeast Kingdom. Trees in that corner are a joke. Bob       Home
