CRAWFORD’S PURCHASE — The Appalachian Mountain Club is proposing to create a new Lakes of the Clouds helicopter airlift site in the White Mountain National Forest in this unincorporated place.
If the WMNF approves the proposal, Lakes would conform to what is the AMC’s now-standard operating procedure at its other seven high huts by having its airlift site on either federal- or state-owned land.
