On Tuesday, October 22nd, 2002 Linda, Ruane and I drove past
Pitcher Mountain on Route 123 in Stoddard, NH N43 5.625 W72 8.112

We needed a stretch and parked in a lot at a sign proclaiming
"Pitcher Mountain Fire Tower".

The parking lot is at an elevation of 1870 feet.  We walked up 
a steep dirt road to the summit at 2165 feet.  "Fy-a Tow-a" is
apparently New Hamsha speak for "Amazing View".

We climbed the tower to the deck below the enclosed observation 
platform.  As I looked at the door to the enclosed platform, it
opened.  The on-duty rangerette invited us in/up.  Then she pointed
out various peaks, weather conditions, locations of past fires, etc.

We saw a snow covered Mt LaFayette 82 miles away.  It was snowing 
on Mt Killington.  Mt Monadnock 16 miles to the South dominated
that part of the skyline.
