Sat, Aug 25

Twin Mountain, NH: Started out sunny. Mike made a fire and we sat around with our coffee and tea and it started sprinkling. Moved our chairs back under the awning. Stopped raining. Back in front of the fire. That went on for a while. We burned all the wood we had left so we didn’t have to take any with us. Won’t be having a fire for a while. Finally started clearing somewhat. We decided to hang around the campsite today. It’s so pretty here. Played Trivial Pursuit outside on the picnic table. Played twice—I won both (cough, cough). Finally. He beat me twice the other day, so now we’re even. Just sandwiches for dinner. Another little thunder storm rolled in. We’re nice and comfy. Feel sorry for the people in the tents.

Our Pretty Campsite

Glacial Erratic in our Site

Wed, Aug 22

Twin Mountain, NH: We left Jigger Johnson National Forest Campground this morning at 11:00 and arrived at Sugarloaf NF Campground outside Twin Mountain, NH, and were set up by 12:20. What a beautiful little campground! Still no hook-ups, but a beautiful campsite with our own glacial erratic right in our site and a beautiful trail leading right out of our campsite down to the river. We’re surrounded by beautiful birch trees. And it’s actually pretty warm! Looking good! Outlook is for warmer weather, but more clouds. Rain by Saturday. That’s okay, at least it will be warm. After we got set up we drove around the area. The mountains up here are very rugged and craggy and we have lots of exploring to do. Had subs at the country store/gas station/restaurant in Twin Mountain. There’s a beautiful old hotel at the base of Mt. Washington that’s been there since the 1900s. We need to check that out. Back to our pretty campsite and read outside for a while. Then went inside and played Trivial Pursuit for a while. Mike won (again). Tonight should be the last cold night.
