Biker week in New Hampshire so head for the hills


Storm over Lake Winnepesaukee, NH

Went through Keene, Concord and along the South and West side of Lake Winnepesaukee until a storm stopped us in our tracks for awhile. Saw Biker Week was getting ready to descend upon us so we headed away from the lake as soon as we could. Spent the night at a campground in Meredith. The next morning before the Harleys came rumbling in we took off for my old friend Phillip's on Squam Lake. He was my neighbor in Charleston and then his family moved to NH to a beautiful horse farm several years ago. Their farm takes care of retired NYC police horses among other horses.

Horses expecting a snack?

House for sale in Sandwich, NH. Looks like Bates Motel?


We are always searching for the moose.
 The drive along Squam Lake to The White Mountain National Forest was pretty with old houses nestled among the pines and the lake. East of Conway were a few National Park campsites. They are very primitive. No showers or extras. We at least can take showers on the camper but it is nice to stretch out in a real shower. With rain in the forecast we did not get to hike but instead drove around the West side of the National Forest as far as Jackson. Quaint towns that have too many inns and restaurants for the amount of visitors we saw. Maybe Summer and Ski season picks up a bit.
