We travelled to the White Mountains in New Hampshire on Sunday. Our campground is right at the base of Cannon Mountain and on the edge of Echo Lake. More gorgeous country! Texas is going to look "bare" when we return - we are so used to trees everywhere up here. We hiked the "Flume Gorge" this morning - another lovely area where the glaciers carved a chasm and water falling over thousands of years has sculpted unbelievable scenery. They say it was discovered by a 93 year old woman who went out trout fishing and came across it on her way home - her family thought she was crazy because they had never seen it before! We have been packing picnic lunches when we go exploring - ate at the "Basin" today - another mountain stream falling over rocks and pools. A cable car ride to the top of the mountain this afternoon, a walk around the "Rim Trail" with panoramic views of the White Mountains topped off the day. Sunny but cool - wore our sweatshirts most of the day.
Going biking tomorrow. Roger has made arrangements for one of the park workers to pick him up at the parking lot at the end of the 8 mile trail - he'll leave the car there so we can enjoy the ride "down" and not have to endure the ride back "up!"

We loved the flume gorge! We went there a few years ago, before the children. I believe Casey lost our camera lens cap in the falls! Glad you are enjoying NH.
