Last week, we took a trip to the Great Bay here in the Dover/Newington, NH area. To most folks, this isn't a big deal, since the major road through the area (the Spaulding Turnpike) runs right through the area, and it's a drive made daily by many people. However, commuting from the one side of the bay to the other wasn't always so uneventful, as the name for the area on the Newington side demonstrates (this photos is also included for its dark comedic value).
More to the point, Charlotte and I have long been curious about the bridge that runs immediately alongside the highway, which is now open to the public as part of a walking/biking trail running from Dover to Portsmouth. 
Walking the bridge provided a chance to go for a nice walk. Better still, it offered a chance to slow down and enjoy a view that we more commonly whiz by at 50MPH. The photo below shows just one of the many gorgeous vistas of the Great Bay that the bridge offers.
Next, we hope to traverse the bridge by bike, en route from Dover to Portsmouth. Stay tuned for more photos of this past weekend and future explorations!
