    And this was atop cannon mountain. The notch often has its own weather, so summit was in the clouds.

    Is the pice with the young man in it that tight trail you crawl through? I tried but there was a small
    pool of water I had to crawl through so I turned around. I didn't want to get my jeans wet! Awesome pics!

    Yea, tight quarters climbing up through, but made it!

    I'll be in your neck of the woods next weekend visiting dad. Plenty of work he needs help with on the farm.

    Well, if you need anything let me know! You live in a beautiful area!

    This is in Stamford which is close to your father's place. We drove up it.

    We used to hike the new jersey highlands and could see the catskills, hours away. Would've seen them today from cannon, but totally cloudy. Once we drove north past echo lake in route home, sunny and hot. Crazy weather change

    Great pics Well Seasoned , we live in very special place, and are lucky for it. I just went thru the notch on Saturday with 40 friends on bikes during the Laconia rally. Keep posting pics of our great state for the rest to see. "Live Free or Die"!:yes:

    We tend to keep our bears closer to the tourist areas. They love them, as they are delicious, and are much easier to catch and eat than the locals who know the trails. Us locals tend to be scrawny, and tough eating from all the wood we cut.:cool:

    Nice! One of our favorite places to visit. Ever been to the Red Fox Bar and Grill? It's one of our favorite places to eat

    North Conway? But I have not. I'll put it on the list, always looking for new places. Thanks.

    Yeah, I think it is North Conway. It gets crowded in the summer but it's worth it.

    Great food and staff. I recommend the maple bacon pizza, the steak tips and smoked Gouda mashed potatoes and then Sunday brunch as well.

    Wait a minute. The Red Fox is only a few miles from us and certainly we don't drive to CT often.
