Fall is arriving here on the Seacoast! Or so say the trees, which, despite the recent spurt into the mid-80s, are busily changing colors.
Rather than celebrating the actions (and consequences) of one Mr. Columbus, we elected to take a nice hike in Pawtuckaway State Park in southern New Hampshire instead. In addition to being a gorgeous place in general, it's where many of Charlotte's field samples were collected, and we've been aching to just go for a leisurely hike there without any "to-do" tasks.
We took a trail called the "Fire Tower Trail" up South Mountain, and were shocked by what we found at the top!
Actually, we were somewhat surprised (pleasantly), since so often the fire towers at the top of the mountain are not open to the public for climbing. This one was, though, and the view was primo!
Up on top, STILL conquering my fear of heights, one step at a time...
Up on top, STILL pretty much unafraid of heights...
Anyway, I know that Henry Ford and his ilk get the credit for bringing the 2-day weekend to the masses, but whoever came up with the 3-day weekend is our hero! We were proud to carry on Columbus' legacy of discovering new places today, and best of all, I don't think we brought any diseases with us.
Goodnight!
