You know I have no idea why that area is referred to as tri state and never really thought about it either. I know it’s something they used more often decades ago, when the quickest way north to the white mountains was through Rochester so maybe tri state refers to Mass traffic? I tried to look this up and couldn’t find an answer.

edit:

or maybe tri state refers to the three towns as they were a largely populated area of NH in the past with economic growth seeing as major roads and highways used to pass directly through them. (obviously not anymore)

I’d say that the surprisingly unfriendly poor people would be the tri state area, Dover is suffering gentrification but Somerworth/Rochester/Gonic and parts of Dover fit that description, maybe going northward you’d have Farmington, New Durham, Milton, Wakefield all are also pretty poor and definitely not what I’d call friendly. (though when in Milton always stop at Mckenzie’s farm!)

it could fit in the bed of a truck (like, a big truck maybe with 6-8’ bed) with some strapping to keep it from moving around. I’d be worried about the weight though, if you got into an accident it would probably fly out the back or straight through into the cab. If you’re serious it’s at Wallis Sands in Rye. I work for state parks, and we are pretty much just hoping it goes back out with the tide or we will have to chop it up in order to remove it.
