Norah News: Trail Crew?

We had a great family day on Sunday. We headed North, to our beloved White Mountains. Matt and I spent a lot of time there, both together and apart, in the days before Norah, and we were really excited to bring her there. It's also that time of year that people in New England go "leaf peeping" - basically driving around and looking at leaves. The mountains did not dissapoint, with the southern peaks still showing some green and the northern peaks in full color display.

We started off at the Flume Gorge, where Norah enjoyed a nice walk in the woods in her backpack. We then took a drive through Twin Mountain, over 302 and down Bear Notch Road to the Kancamagus Highway, stopping at various points along the way. We rounded it out with a visit to Lincoln Woods - the gateway to some of my favorite hikes - before heading for some Pigs Ear Brown Ale at Woodstock Brewery.

The one thing we've learned recently is that it's great to be back, doing our favorite things again, and showing Norah all the things we love. We've also learned that we have to adjust our pace and be ready to change plans on a moments notice. What I DIDN'T realize was that we'd be doing trail maintenance so soon... enjoy the video
