Sep 19, 2010 - Mount Starr King

Finally, yesterday the sun came out after a week of clouds and rain. It was a glorious day, too. Every peak in the Presidential Range was visible, quite the contrast from the past several days. Folks were out taking advantage of the nice weather. All the trailhead parking lots we passed were packed, especially the one with so many trails leading to the peaks of Madison and Adams. This surely was one of the few remaining good weather weekends before the snow starts to fly. We were out as well--back to the village of Jefferson to do the hike...

Sep 15, 2010 - Jefferson, New Hampshire

Well, our day certainly didn’t go as planned. Sometimes I think I can do as well at forecasting the weather by sticking my head out the door as the meteorologists on the local news or even the weather channel can do. Based on the forecasted 10% chance of rain, we gathered our stuff and headed out for a hike. We hadn’t gotten twenty feet up the trail before the rain started. I immediately turned back to the truck, but Gene continued on. He didn’t last long and within 15 minutes I saw him coming down the trail. We weren’t anywhere near...

We’ve spent the last couple weeks traveling through northern Vermont and New Hampshire. While the weather has gotten much cooler, we have not seen much change in the leaf color…but we’ve got the time to wait. Meanwhile, we are enjoying the 60+ degree days and the wonderful change of scenery. Mountains, rolling hills and rocky landscapes have taken over the monotonous flat vistas of trees, grass and water. I love ice cream, so while in Burlington, Vermont area, we decided to take the factory tour of Ben and Jerry’s. Marty reluctantly agreed...

Sep 21, 2007 - Stark, New Hampshire

September 21, 2007 49270 10:06 We went over to the Noah/Shannon party B&B this morning for breakfast. Blueberry pancakes, fresh blueberries, bacon, popovers, juice, coffee and tea. WOW!! What a treat. We came back to the campsite and hooked up and headed out. We were right behind the Noah/Shannon clan and after a few stops, and a few bridges we reached Jefferson, New Hampshire. We stopped and checked into the campground while they went off to check into the Jefferson Inn. We all had lunch at the RV and then headed up the road for a circle...
