We were able to sneak in one last fair weather weekend this fall. We headed to NH to climb Rattlesnake Mt. which overlooks Squam Lake. Then we canoed Squam lake. A very fulfilling weekend.
We started with a little trail maintenance. Sign at trail head asked each hiker to carry a bucket of rocks from the bottom up the trail to where trail crews were working on fixin' up the trail. We love to help as no one uses the trail systems more than us.
We made our way to the summit where Mom surprised me and Dad with Halloween candy from my "auntie Sue" What a great treat. We took our time coming down the mountain with much chipmunk chasin'.
By late afternoon we had made our way to Dog cove on Squam lake (where the movie On Golden Pond was filmed) We had an exhilarating paddle down the lake then back into a strong cool fall headwind back to the van.
We slept in the van Saturday night. Quite warm for Halloween night. No gobbling came visiting and we all slept very well. Sunday was alot of back road exploring as we meandered back towards home. We stopped in Maddison NH at the post office/ train depot museum. I posed on lots of old train cars for some great pictures.
Fall is my favorite time of year and this weekend was a gift of warm fall weather....just right for adventuring.
