Reminder that everyone’s a Pittsburger

PITTSBURG, N.H. — This is a remote part of the world, squeezed between Vermont, Maine and Canada. Take the steep climb above the tree line on the Coot Trail on Mount Magalloway — the name means “dwelling place of moose” — and then ascend the 50 additional steps to the top of the fire watch tower and you will see a vast expanse of northern white cedar and sparkling water, a rugged redoubt of individualism and independence. That’s in normal times.
