Yeah, 19 Mile Brook is not really a wind/visibility concern. The cold at the hut is though, so definitely make sure you have warm enough gear for the bunkhouse.

Maybe this will push prices down over time. I suspect its impact will be limited due to landlords, especially corporate ones. I don't think they have many incentives to sell their property.

I'm taking out of my ass a bit, because I don't know how much of the US, or NH housing marking its controlled by mom-and-pop landlords, or corporate landlords.

My biggest hope is that high prices incentivize builders to produce more housing, assuming NIMBYs can get out of the way.

I have my yard sprayed. Get someone who uses stuff that is safe for other animals! I have a 6 year old son and it’s worth getting the yard sprayed. Also have a dog. We live in the middle of the woods so we do have a lot of ticks. Took my dog for a walk and pulled 6 off her just in a 10 minute walk this last summer. Just check for ticks anytime your outside before coming inside and you should be fine..

We have a fenced yard with horses next door and our dogs used to bring in a lot of ticks when there were shrubs and weeds coming in through the fence. We removed all of the weeds/trees from the fence line, keeping it all well mowed, and added a gravel path between our fence and the horses. I'm happy to say that we didn't see a single tick this past summer. I am a big believer in the gravel barrier now. Good luck!

If she and her group are adequately prepared, then I think that section of the hike isn't impossible. My main worry is actually blowing snow reducing visibility & obscuring trail markers. The girl Sotelo who perished on the Franconia Ridge succumbed to that exact issue.
