Title: Redrock Ravine - Pemigewasset Wilderness, New Hampshire
Description: Artifact (chain, probably from a logging sled) along an abandoned sled road of the East Branch & Lincoln Railroad (1893-1948) deep in Redrock Ravine in the Pemigewasset Wilderness of New Hampshire. Sled roads were used by teamsters to drag logs down from the higher elevations of mountains to the rails of the East Branch & Lincoln Railroad. This item is considered to be an artifact, and the removal of historic artifacts from federal lands without a permit is a violation of federal law.
Location: White Mountains, New Hampshire, United States
