Finding that last summer's 'escape to the north' vacation worked well to disrupt our protracted Texas summers, we repeated the venture again this year, this time visiting New England. Unfortunately, we were met by a number of less than ideal circumstances - I contracted some kind of illness almost immediately upon our arrival and Hurricane Irene was on the approach.
We spent a very long first day making up for all the hiking we didn't get to do this summer - first at Flume Gorge in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Following lunch we started hike #2 on Falling Waters Trail, intending to climb all the way to the summit of Little Haystack Mountain. We thought surely this would be no problem at all as the trail was only 3.25 miles one way. I knew it was a steep mountain just from reading about it, so I must have been deluding myself that the trail would gently meander it's way up the mountain. I was wrong. It was 3.25 miles of up. Boulders, stairs, crossing streams here and there. It was beautiful - just what we've been missing out on in Dallas, but it was too strenuous for us out-of-shape, currently non-hiking hikers and we decided to give up after learning from several descending hikers that after about two and a half hours on the trail we still had an hour of up to go before reaching the summit. Even so, we enjoyed several gorgeous waterfalls along the way. I think this one's called "Cloudland Falls:"Having a little bit a daylight left and suffering the disappointment that we didn't get to enjoy a view from the top, we cheated our way to the top of a different mountain by way of the aerial tram on Cannon Mountain. We had a nice view of Echo Lake from the tram:And a nice view of a black bear too!

You two could be sisters ... and, after a fashion, so you are.
I thought you knew each other from living in CA as you are so close. Looks like a fun time was had by all. Thanks for sharing the visit. Sure went fast. Great photos. I am back to not being able to comment on some blogs again. This time it gives me no options. Big sigh.
absolutely fabulous photo of Robin. The first one, close up. Looks like you had much good weather and times. My friend who used to live in Bristol wandered the rocks like that and came home through the years with huge VATS of gorgeous sea glass.
Got an email and the application from Betsy Green but need to phone her and explain my finances (no income for example) and see if it is worth applying. Sight unseen. thanks for the tip and viewing.
Oh how wonderful these pictures are!!!!
Fabulous one of Robin! I saved that one .
Lovely animal Wednesday post. Bet you miss her. I know the feeling of saying goodbye to friends.......:(
But she will be back, I know!
And so will I one day
HAW!

It sounds like such a wondeful time. Great photos. And I know how quiet your house is now without her. Thanks for letting us know what you all did.

what a great tribute to a great visit. isn't it something else to forge and solidify relationships that begin with words and colors and computer keys and become deep and abiding frienships?
