Hiking Year Three

Onward and Outward

In my third year of hiking, I have a home base in southern New Hampshire. Apparently, this puts me an hour and a half from trailheads in the Lakes Region. Yum.

Now that I've picked up a better guidebook for the Monadnock region (Adamowicz, who also covers sports for the local paper), I've got walking-in-the-woods/hiking opportunities that I can pick with some confidence that I know what I'm getting myself into. And only have to drive a half hour each way. Neat.

Bug season is fully upon us, now that it's May. Yuck.
