Stewartstown is probably most famous as the final resting place of Metallak, an Abenaki Chief. His biography is quite interesting. His marker was the newest of the headstones in the cemetery. There are quite a few trinkets and memorials on and near his grave. Just up the road from the cemetery is the North Hill Church… […]

Fitzwilliam
I’ve been to Fitzwilliam many times. One of my favorite places to go for a quite walk is Rhododendron State Park, home to largest grove of wild rhododendrons in New England. The flowers bloom in mid-July. I missed the bloom this year, but there is still plenty to see. A myriad of other flowers and plants […]
Colebrook
There had been a lot of rain the week before I visited Colebrook. As a matter of fact, it was raining lightly the first day I was there, for most people, this would be a great day to stay in and catch up on their reading. For me, it was a great day to be […]
Cambridge
Cambridge is an unincorporated place on the Maine border. It contains the southern part of Lake Umbagog. The first day I was there, it had been raining for several days. There are quite a few islands that you can boat out to and camp. Camping in the rain doesn’t top my list of fun things […]
Clarksville
Clarksville is the second most northern town in New Hampshire. The north side of Clarksville is bordered by Lake Francis… Once I got off the main road, I was treated to such peaceful surroundings. There are miles and miles of trails crisscrossing the western side of Clarksville. Most of these roads are part of the […]
Berlin
From unincorporated places to the city of Berlin. Berlin is the second of New Hampshire’s 13 cities that I have toured. It is known as “The City That Trees Built” and with good reason. Logging was a way of life in early Berlin and many reminders remain today, such as the boom piers in the […]
Pittsburg
Pittsburg is not only the largest town in NH, it is also the largest township in the lower 48. I don’t usually get into much history about the places I visit, but I found Pittsburg to be quite unique. Instead of being granted by the King, it was purchased from an Abenaki chief. Both the […]
Silver Riders
Thursdays are a great day to be out on the ATV trails in the Great North Woods, then again, what day isn’t? This is another post that is more about the adventure than a specific town. I’m going to warn you ahead of time, that this isn’t some of my best photography. I guess I […]
Wentworth Location
There is plenty to do in the unincorporated township of Wentworth Location. You could spend quite a long time there soaking up the tranquility, simply meandering around great places like the Magalloway River Trail and Long Pond. My first suggestion for spending the day in Wentworth Location is to […]
Dixville
Another unincorporated township in NH is Dixville. I went there several times while I was in the area and came away with several different views of the notch… On my first trip through the notch, we had a light snow and some heavy fog… The next time I traveled through the notch, it had warmed up […]
