A freshman state representative has introduced legislation this session calling for a likeness of the Old Man of the Mountain to be returned to the cliff from which the granite visage tumbled nearly six years ago.
Kenneth Gidge, D-Nashua, envisions a replica of the Old Man constructed as a monument on the ledge above Profile Lake, made with materials that can withstand the harsh climate in Franconia Notch and large enough for visitors to walk inside, once they've climbed up a walking trail to reach it.
This seems like the best way to spend money since:
Sure-- I'm gonna walk inside a statue hanging off the side of Franconia Notch that commemorates... a statue that fell off Franconia Notch. What a swell idea!
