			From the information for the benchmark on Max Patch, it references that there used to be an airport up on the bald. The Forest Service now has to mow the bald to keep it open.

			Vandals riding ATVs did significant damage to Max Patch in December 2012 and January 2013. Fortunately, they have been caught. A land management plan is being created to provide more permanent barricades.
