Abandoned Bunker
This abandonded military bunker, and others like it in this area, are slowly being cleaned out but right now, but many of them still have the remains of more active days on the base.
Once they are cleaned out, there is a most interesting project planned for these old bunkers. They will be put to good use as temperature controlled habitats for bats, which are in steep decline right now due to a wide-spread disease called "White Nose Syndrome."

"White nose was first detected on bats in Rockingham in 2010, but this March was the first time bats were visibly infected with the fungus. Fish and Game biologist Emily Brunkhurst says the disease has devastated bat populations in the Northeast.
Brunkhurst: We have lost, 99 percent of Northern long-eared bats and little brown bats. That’s thouands, and thousands and thousands of bats, just in New Hampshire."
