It was another one of those rare sunny days we seem to get once a week now. It was a good day to go out and have lunch with a friend at the local diner followed by a brisk hike into the nearby woods. Lunch at the Hometown Diner was as mediocre as I remember… Continue reading Rails to Trails – Rindge NH
A gorgeous hike through Casalis State Forest feeds my mind and soul.
I find myself hiking past a historical landmark where hostages were once exchanged from the Narragansett, Wampanoag and Nashaway/Nipmuc back to the English Puritans in the late 1600’s.
I tried to be good today and plan where I was going – but the Fates had other ideas. I was going to go conquer an old foe – Mount Monadnock. I even picked a trail, the Dublin Trailhead, but try as I may to find an address I just couldn’t get anything more specific… Continue reading Swamp Road Trail and Turn-Off Sharon NH
Today’s little adventure started with the usual – this time it was my mother trying to figure out where this pretty bridge she kept seeing on FaceBook was located. It claimed to be in Pittsfield Maine, the town she grew up in, but she had no recollection of it. This isn’t unusual for my mother….… Continue reading Suspension Bridge – Manson Park – Pittsfield Maine
I suppose it’s time to write about my terrible clusterfuck of a day yesterday. I had decided that morning I wanted to go to an exotic pet store and spend the afternoon getting stock images of lizards, fish, and birds, anything they may have. I write for a lot of places besides this blog and… Continue reading Tophet Chasm – Littleton MA

So I thought the sculpture garden in Brookline might be the ticket. I had heard there were all sorts of large sculptures nestled in… Continue reading Sculpture Garden at The Andrea’s Institute for Art – Brookline NH
So after my little Polar Cave adventure I decided I still had a little time to do something more appropriate for an adult, perhaps a good old fashioned hike into the woods? I had noticed signs coming up for “Quincy Bog” and I’m a bit of a sucker at stopping at bogs, mostly because I… Continue reading Quincy Bog – Rumney New Hampshire
This morning I decided to go out for another adventure and it occurred to me that I have yet to see any caves in New England. I wasn’t even sure if we have any caves but a quick Google search landed me at the Polar Caves in Rumney NH, which is about two hours away.… Continue reading Polar Caves – Rumney New Hampshire
I finally got out on a little adventure today! I had tried to do so last weekend but I ended up driving by a lot of really crowded trail heads and noping my way home, not that there’s anything wrong with popular trails, I have just been in a very introverted mood these past few… Continue reading Thumbs Up and Harriskat Trail Loop – Hancock NH
