I used to drive through Amherst several times a week. I always stayed on Rt. 101 and never really explored. I knew Amherst is full of history and wonderful architecture but I was always in a hurry to get somewhere else. The center of town is one of the best places to start. There is […]

Acworth
While I do try to plan my tour route in advance, I never know what I am going to find. Acworth surprised me with some truly unique finds! I’ll start with the Beryl Mountain Museum – The Happy Home of Antique Trucks, Antique Cars, Snowmobiles and other Stuff!! It is only open by appointment and […]
Langdon
Langdon is rural New Hampshire at its best! There is a quiet beauty that draws you in and takes you to a simpler time. Both of the covered bridges in Langdon are closed to vehicular traffic and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The McDermott Bridge spans the Cold River. The second […]
Goshen
My trip to Goshen was a few weeks ago. By now, the lilac bushes and crab apple blossoms are just a memory, but I was able to capture some images, too bad I couldn’t catch the wonderful smell as well… One of the highlights in Goshen is Gunnison Lake. The day […]
Springfield
Springfield is a town not to be missed if you like beautiful scenery and outdoor activities! Nearly 30% of the town is conservation lands and recreational opportunities abound. Toad and I did a little bit of off-roading, but my main goal was to get to Gardner Memorial Wayside Park. The drive along Rt. 4A takes you […]
Monson
Monson is the town that “used to be.” Last week, Martha (from Therapeutic Misadventures) and I headed out to find the missing town. Monson was roughly 20,000 acres and was home to about 270 people from 55 families. In 1770, the town of Monson held a vote to voluntarily have their charter revoked. There are […]
Croydon
Croydon was quite an adventure. I knew before I headed out, Toad (I finally named the Jeep) and I would get to have some fun. There are miles and miles of Class VI roads in Croydon, a true 4×4 playground… As I splashed along, I wondered about the 12′ high fence on the side of […]
Lempster
Aside from electricity, indoor plumbing and a few paved roads, I doubt much has changed in Lempster in the last 200 or so years. This quiet charm easily takes you back to simpler times. The “center” of town is at the intersection of Rt. 10, 2nd NH Turnpike and Lempster Mountain Road. If you are […]
Sunapee
Steve and I had been to Lake Sunapee several times but never really explored what the rest of the town had to offer. We had been seriously missing out! There are several other lakes and ponds worth a visit. One of them is Mountain View Lake… Alden of Sunapee uses this beautiful lake for kayak […]
Newport
Memorial Day weekend brought my annual trek in Waldo to stay in a campground and explore the town around me. This year Steve and I packed up and headed to Newport. We stayed at the Crow’s Nest Campground, right off Rt. 10. We’ve stayed there several times before and the owners, Andy and Eva, have […]
