"Live Free or Die” is the state motto of this tax-free New England state, home to the White Mountains and Lake Winnipesaukee. The White Mountains are said to have the most rugged terrain in New England. The range is part of the Appalachian Trail with its highest peak on Mount Washington. With an elevation of 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is the tallest peak in the northeastern United States. Fifty-two acres of state forest encompass the mountain, which attracts visitors from all over who love the outdoor adventures of camping, hiking, and mountain climbing. The weather here can be quite challenging and the mountain has taken many lives. In fact, Mount Washington holds a world record for achieving a wind speed of 231 MHP. As I write this article this January morning, the summit conditions are quite warm: -13 degrees with a wind chill of 50 below and 64mph wind gust. For some really fascinating information and statistics, visit the Mount Washington Observatory website.

A Visit To Tilton, New Hampshire When my husband recently presented my two boys and me with the gift of a getaway to Tilton, N.H., I admit my second reaction (after gratefulness) was that it seemed a little random. But if I’ve learned anything from our years of vacationing in the Granite State, it’s that its other nickname--“land of many uses”--is very fitting. There is always something interesting and fun to see and do in New Hampshire’s vacation areas--the White Mountains area and the Lakes Region, primarily--and the Tilton area was no exception.The bulk of our New Hampshire excursions have been spent in the White Mountains, mainly Lincoln and North Conway, where we’ve spent at least a few days every summer since our kids were small. I remember well our first trip to Storyland in Glen, N.H., and how amazed I was at the variety of adventures set against some of the most breathtaking views I had ever seen.

In My Footsteps: New London, NH
I chose to stay at the Lamplighter Inn on Main Street as it was recommended to me by a friend. It ended up being the perfect place to stay. Located just off of the main drag in New London the newly renovated Lamplighter is owned by Mr. Ernest Collier who took over the motel in March. He has made some marked improvements which have made this spot a great landing place for any visitor to the area. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Lamplighter Inn and recommend it to anyone who travels to the New London area. |

There are some cities and towns that I have visited where I have had to look hard to find beautiful and historic places and things. Then there are others that practically scream history from the moment I arrive; Portsmouth, New Hampshire is one such place. For me, the moment I cross the border into New Hampshire is like stepping into an entirely different world. On this day, it went from being cloudy and gray in Massachusetts to immediately sunny when I entered New Hampshire. The rolling green hills I saw once I got off the highway in Exeter made me realize this was going to be a really fun day.
As my travel trips grew further and further from home I knew it was time to do my first overnight trip. I found a perfect place to begin and a perfect place to stay as well. New London, New Hampshire, a nearly three and a half hour drive for me from my home on Cape Cod was the setting for my first overnight stay and it was amazing. The drive up through the eastern fringe of the White Mountains as the sun began to set was something that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
