Tired of your hat & sunglasses fighting with each other? We were too. Our patented (US Patent No. 9,027,165) notches eliminate the interference between your hat & sunglasses, providing the most secure, comfortable fit possible. FIND OUT which Notch hat will work best with your glasses.
Purchasing any apparel item online is a little different...you can't try it on first and that can be a little scary. We're guessing you're as picky as we are when it comes to your hat fitting properly. Now you can order with confidence because we've developed the Notch Perfect Fit Guide to make sure you get the Notch hat that's right for you.
I was glad to find Notch hats since I wear a cap and eye pro daily, mostly all day. I've been wearing this one as my daily for a couple of months now. The fit and comfort are great, although at first I had a slight discomfort where the sweatband contacted my forehead. After wearing the hat for a while, it would become uncomfortable from pressing on my head and leave an impression where the pressure was. I trimmed a little fabric from underneath the sweatband that covered the seam and that alleviated the problem. Great hat so I was glad to get that worked out. I spoke with customer service about it and they were more than helpful and offered to replace it. Thanks, Notch! I swap between two Notch hats 99% of the time and bought my wife one as well, we love them.
Occasionally, you might hear a child ask for a "napple," as in "I would like a napple," mistaking the phrase "an apple" for "a napple." A similar error is believed to be behind notch, which may have resulted from a misdivision of "an otch." (Otch is a noun that is assumed to have existed in earlier English as a borrowing of Middle French oche, meaning "an incision made to keep a record.") Notch would not be alone in developing from such a mistake. The words newt and nickname were formed, respectively, from misdivisions of "an ewte" and "an ekename." Going in the other direction, umpire first appears in Middle English as oumpere, a mistaken rendering of "a noumpere."
I have two simple custom profiles that I've placed in an assembly that intersect each other. Applying the "Notch" command does absolutely nothing. They are both authored with the basic geometry as the notch profile, and I even tried to make a custom notch profile and select that as well during authoring. I also tried using a stock profile from the library to notch the custom profile with. Same results. No error message, and no notch entry in the browser.
They were placed through frame generator. I've actually had this work just fine in earlier versions of Inventor (can't remember which one it stopped working though but it think it worked in 2018 and 2019 at least.)
I forgot to mention that these frame members are authored as sheet metal parts, if that is of any significance in the matter. I'd find that a little odd though, as the extrude command works just fine on SM-parts, and I'm under the assumption that the notch command is just an automated way of making a cut-extrude based on the profile geometry sketch from one of the frame members.
As a sort of five-year reunion, I decided to head back into the Sentinel Range - but more specifically onto Notch Mountain. The Sentinel Range is a large tract of land resting in a true wilderness state along Wilmington Notch; hence where it got its unofficial name. Notch Mountain cannot be found as such on any map, but as a rock climber this destination is known very well by all. The rock face on the notch side is a popular destination, and the short scramble on the side is a fun approach to the tall ridgeline.
I made quick time up the trail for the very short distance it took to reach the rock climbing herd path on my left - I mean literally five minutes into the trip I was there. The herd path was still very apparent and easy to follow, maybe even more so after years of extended uses. While abrupt in sections, I soon found myself looking up at a scramble which is an arduous open rock slope, just slightly right of the rock wall. The steep rocky slope is a serious scramble, one I did not want to error on, being solo and all, fortunately it has plenty of spots to grab a hold of something solid. At the top I worked my way to the top of the cliffs and once again was awarded the outstanding views over the Ausable River and toward Whiteface Mountain.
After soaking in the views I now had to push on without the aid of a herd path. The forest is a bit scratchy from the start but that was par for the course in the Sentinel Mountain Wilderness. The red spruce armed with sharp needles was not a pleasing friend to any sort of bare skin, as I am sure I have mentioned many times past, that is the reason I wear long sleeves on even the hottest of days. While I was sweating from the heat, actually soaked and steaming, I needed to protect my skin if for no other reason than to avoid a very painful shower later.
I was now on an obvious ridge, a place I remember well and wanted to explore a bit more. I remembered periodic openings, but there were no real massive views to speak of. I quickly topped off on the first distinctive bump along the ridge. I had to descend a bit from this undiscernible high point and the woods soon opened up a little for me. Quickly I was in the col with the next bump along the ridge, which happens to be the highest point and the summit of Notch Mountain.
This is meant to be the ultimate guide for all travelers passing through Franconia Notch State Park on I-93 South and I-93 North. This blog highlights the most popular attractions, my favorite places, and help ease the planning process of road trips. After all, you are on vacation! So, sit back, relax, and be inspired for your upcoming trip to the White Mountains!
No trip is complete without some rad tunes! Here are some local stations that should be static free throughout your Notch adventure: 104.7 The Point and 105.7 The River; these are both wonderful and eclectic independent radio stations.
Lincoln is a small, tourist town located just a few miles south of the state park. Many of the local businesses and residents exemplify the warm, friendly charm for which New England is famous. As soon as you make a left off of the highway, the White Mountain Visitor Center is ready to welcome you, and the staff are prepared to answer your questions, and suggest some exciting and scenic nearby attractions! There is also a 24/7 Price Chopper, Purple Tomato Farmers Market, post office, Rite Aid, movie theater, glorious library with free wifi/ computer access, and all other town necessities.
Half Baked and Fully Brewed: I loved starting my mornings with a great cup of freshly brewed coffee, beautifully prepared baked goods, or a delicious breakfast sandwich. I personally love their lox selection, muffins, and omelet sandwiches.
One Love Brewery: This is tied for my favorite restaurant in town because of the friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, great adult beverage selection, and mouth watering food. I fell in love with the Beer belly Burger, Poutine, and Chicken and Waffles.
The Common Man: This homey, warm, and comfortable restaurant/bar experience is my other favorite spot in town. I personally spent most of my nights reading, playing table games, listening to live music, and eating at this New England chain. My parents could not speak more highly of this dining location and we loved the Lobster Corn Chowder, Uncommon Salad, New England Pot Roast, Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae, and the Uncommon Coffee.
Woodstock Inn Station and Brewery: This location is a local favorite and has a wonderful selection of home brewed beers. I really enjoyed spending sunny afternoons eating on their porch and I was captivated by their meatloaf.
Liberty Springs Trailhead is a direct, steep and rocky route to Mt. Liberty, Mt. Flume, the AT, and the Franconia Ridge. This 2.6mi trail intersects with the Flume Slide Trail at .6mi. Flume Slide is a very dangerous and difficult trail when wet, and should not be attempted when coming down the mountain. The Liberty Springs tentsite is located 3.4 miles from the trailhead. For $8 a night, this designated camping location has seven single platforms, three double platforms, composting outhouse, bear box, access to the spring, and dishwashing area.
The Multi-Use Recreational Path is an 8.8mi paved road that runs throughout the entire park and ends at the Skookumchuck Trailhead on Rt.3. This path welcomes bikers, hikers, and is stroller and wheelchair friendly. There are also picnic tables and turnoffs along the way. Bikes are available to rent at the Cannon Mtn. Aerial Tram and, if desired, a shuttle is available through Sport Thoma. Please call 603-745-8151 for more information, prices, and pickup times. Please always stay on the right side of the path and pass with caution.
Basin Cascades trail can be accessed through the Basin. It will be trail leading up through the woods before the second bridge. Basin Cascades will take you 1.1mi to Cascade Brook Trail. This connecting trail can be taken for another 1.3mi to Lonesome Lake and is a section of the AT! These are two of my favorite trails in the park. This is because you can marvel at many beautiful waterfalls, rock hop over a few river crossings, and get fabulous, far off views of the mountains. If 1.1mi seems a little too intimidating, it is definitely worth the short walk to the first cascade.
The Pemi Trail does run through the Basin. From here, you can take a very gradual 2mi hike north to Lafayette Campground or go south 1.6mi, connecting to the bike path, to go to the Flume! Because this trail does run along the Pemigewasset River, it can be occasionally muddy.
Falling Waters is a direct, steep, difficult route to Little Haystack Mountain and the Franconia Ridge Trail. This 3.2mi beautiful hike will take you about 3 hours to reach the summit. Along the way, your senses will be stimulated as you experience rushing river waters, invigorating scents of fir and spruce, and eye widening, vibrant colors of mosses, lichens, and other vegetation. The exposed granite can be quite slippery so please be cautious of your footing and resist the urge to venture off trail. At 2.8mi, a short, one way trail leads you to the base of Shining Rock with westerly views.
