• ... that the 1938 New England hurricane leveled the forest surrounding Black Cap Mountain? "Hiking options" (PDF). Cranmore Inn. Retrieved 2020-04-17.

• 16px Template:Ping New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. The source you cite doesn't specifically say that the hurricane leveled the prior forest, just that a new one was planted after; is there a way to address this? Also, the sentence about ownership needs an inline citation. Those two issues are holding up the nom. Raymie (t • c) 04:28, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

• Template:Ping The hurricane was a regional event that leveled trees throughout New England. I added sources. As for the ownership, the scouts own 1,800 aces in the area ("Camp Roosevelt" (PDF). Bangor Daily News Special Advertising Section. 2016-07-22. p. 2. Retrieved 2020-05-04.), However, I can't cross-reference those acres with the ownership sentence. --evrik ^(talk) 16:30, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

• 16px I think it's good now. Raymie (t • c) 17:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

• 16px Hi, I came by to promote this. Footnote 8 does not adequately connect the Template:Tq with the hurricane; in fact, it doesn't even mention Black Cap Mountain. I also think you can do better for a source than quoting visitor information from Cranmore Inn. Yoninah (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

• Yes, the Cranmore Inn is not an ideal source. The 1938 hurricane leveled trees through out the region. I can document that multiple times. Spurr, Stephen H. (1956). "Natural restocking of forests following the 1938 hurricane in Central New England" (PDF). Ecology. 37: 443–451. JSTOR 1930166. I am proposing an alternate hook. Template:Ping would you look at this new hook? --evrik ^(talk) 18:51, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

• Alt1 ... that Black Cap Mountain can be seen from Bangor, Maine to the sea?

• The sources check out and are of better quality than tourist information, so I'm going to 16px restore the tick. (Pinging Template:U) Raymie (t • c) 19:38, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
