Yes they kept fixing it for years so fixing it some more will be as natural as it was to fix it all these years.

I grew up visiting the Old Man of the Mountains. Every family vacation, we stopped to see him. I’ve seen the helicopters fly in over the years to do their yearly maintanence of the profile. He would have fallen a long time ago if it were not for the men that helped keep him up there. So, in regards to it being a natural formation, yes, it was, but it was also kept together with cement, epoxy and steel turnbuckles to keep it from falling, which is what it did in 2003. I’m all for the replacing of the Old Man profile. Natural or not, it’s something that I miss, and I think the Architects got it right on the money with their design. Everyone knows what was there, and those who don’t know or never saw him can read about and see him in the memorial down below of what he used to look like. I think the new proposed plan is something I’d love to see materialize. I hope it does or something similar materializes soon.

For all those who have enjoy reading the trail and pingback dialog on Dave’s site from last years posting; I recently launched a web site to bring to the public more history and up date design information to provide interested individuals what my project proposal to Redefine The Old Man of The Mountain as a 21st century Monumant is all about.

[...] Hampshire has taken a few other lumps in recent years. First they lost their state emblem when the Old Man of the Mountain collapsed, and last year the beloved Mt. Washington Observatory mascot, Nin the cat, passed [...]
