The Old Man of the Mountain on Canon Mountain near Flaconia, NH. It was comprised of 5 natural ledges and visible from the North. You don't see it, you say? Click the link to read the rest of the story. |
Originally we planned to drive the remaining 5 hours of our trip with the kids, from Lancaster, NH to Sutton, NH, in one day. Based on a past couple of longer days, Pat recommended we leave Lancaster one day early and go half way on Thursday. GREAT PLAN!
We stopped at a trail head along the road near Franconia, NH for lunch. I was hoping for some grass the kids could run in to get out some energy. It was so much better. A clear creek to wade in and they got to use their bug nets.
From the parking lot we had a view of the Old Man on Cannon Mountain. Only, he fell off on May 3, 2003! They must have been proud of it because they have a memorial elsewhere, and the state road signs still have the outline of the old man on them.

I wasn't too impressed by this picture of the Old Man of the Mountain, but I didn't invest a lot of time looking for a better one! |

Cyrus and Samira with their green nets. With the clear water, great reflections. |

Samira caught one tadpole. Well, actually someone else caught it and she recaught it. |

The pool at Cozy Pond in Webster, NH, according to Samira, was not heated and had a lot of bugs in it. Also, no one to play with. She didn't stay long. |

On a path we found a cute fairy garden. |

Friday we celebrated our final night of camping with one last fire, hot dogs, and s'mores. |

We had to drive across the covered bridge to our site. |

They were naturally anxious to get home Saturday after 3 weeks on the road so they declined Saturday's candy bar Bingo at the campground. We played our own candy Bingo version with m & m's on Friday night.
