A Good, Long Weekend
Even though it was a normal weekend as far as
number of days, it was a long weekend by the end of
it.
There are a few more photos from the weekend on the Phone Photo site.
FRIDAY
Friday was the Grillin' 'n' Chillin' BBQ at Jonathan and Tia's. I made a flyer to email around.
One major Bocce Ball advancement was made that night, with the introduction of a light-up plastic ice cube to make night-time play more possible.
SATURDAY
Saturday, I was up early and out the door before 9 to pick up Kelly and drive to New Hampshire. We spent 4 hours climbing up and 3 hours climbing down South Baldface. It was hot, into the 80s, and the sun was out most of the time. Despite the crowded parking lot, we saw very few other people and it was a great hike. We both needed some training before Mt. Katahdin in a few weeks and this mountain provided just that. It also gave me some areas to test my back while scrambling over boulders. Glad to report my back performed at 100% operational capacity.
Snow on Mt. Washington.
Mt. Kearsarge as seen from Baldface. I confirmed with my binos- I could see the fire tower!
The trail above tree line
I picked up a hitchhiker
Kelly coming up the trail behind me
And finally, me, with a very tired looking half-smile
We stopped at the little store with the great food and Kelly ordered a BLT which took forever to make. With the heat of the day, I think they had the grill off and didn't have bacon pre-cooked. After about 10 minutes, I went and sat in the car, chugging my gatorade.
SUNDAY
Sunday, after a huge pancake breakfast with Kelly and Heather, Jonathan and I hit the River. It took us a little over 4 hours to get to the car, much improved over the 5 hours last year. The weather was perfect- some clouds came through but no rain. The bugs were surprisingly absent. There were no issues with any boat this time, although there wasn't anybody to watch jump off the train bridge either.
