Feeble replicas across New England commemorate Old Man of the Mountain

New Englanders are still reeling from the May collapse of New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain, while the state's Old Man Revitalization Task Force works feverishly to deliver a proposal in September. In the meantime, temporary or relatively small more permanent tributes to the geologic state symbol are cropping up.

At the Hampton, NH area's Rye Harbor, a local man has contructed a 1-ft. square replica next to a poster of the original, labeled "the Old Man Remembered." A 7-acre corn maze in Fairlee, VT has been fashioned into a 150-ft. long version of the craggy profile. There's another in Groveton, NH, carved by dairy farmers using GPS devices to lay out the face maze.

Finally, a "Mini Man" has been discovered along a busy section of Route 101 in Temple, NH.
