Some Hiking, Some Driving

Last Kezar Lake sunset of the year for us.

Thanks for reading the Some Hiking, Some Driving report. As any reader might assume, we did some hiking, and are in the process of doing some driving, working our way back to nice, hot Florida.

Under overcast with the threat of rain, we drove to Crawford Notch to see if I could still make it to the top of Mt. Willard, a small peak with spectacular views. We did not set any speed records, but by steadily pushing up the hill, we made it to the summit.

On the way back down, we stopped at Centennial Pool, fed by a lovely waterfall.

Wednesday, we left Lovell, heading for Monadnock State Park. We stopped at Woodstock, New Hampshire, and Plymouth, New Hampshire, along the way, lovely little towns, both. Eventually we ended up at the state park, where we spent two nights.

In the morning, we attempted the hike to the summit of Mt. Monadnock, 1000 feet higher than Mt. Willard. It was more mountain than I could handle. A third of the mile from the top, we bailed and headed back down.

Surprisingly, I was only a little bit sore the following day. And all we had to do was drive to Billerica, to visit Susan’s brother. Onward!

That’s the Some Hiking, Some Driving Report. Thanks for reading!

Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! Go paddling! Take a walk! Stay active!
