New Hampshire Camping Trip

Adam and I took the pups and went for a LONG weekend (5 days, 4 nights!) camping trip in Northern New Hampshire. The weather was gorgeous and the hiking was great. My boots gave out on me about day 2 leaving me with very large blisters on top of blisters...quite painful. But a dip in the river near our campsite helped immensely!! The drive was only 3 hours on the way, and about 4 on the return trip (Labor Day holiday traffic) so it's a place we will be visiting again soon....and next time I will have new and better boots and I will climb a Mountain:) Oh, and no Moose sightings, but it was warm...if I were a Moose I would have been up in the Mountains were it was cool. Here are the details of our recent Adventures:

Our Campsite at Dolly Copp Campgrounds. The place was packed!

The Peabody River which ran very close to our campsite. I loved falling asleep each night to the sound of it:) We took the girls every day so we could play in the freezing water. A beer, the bright sun, the cool water, and the girls chasing sticks...it was heaven:)

We hiked to Ripley Falls and rested on the rocks over looking the 100 ft. rushing water. It was beautiful! Here Adam and Libbey enjoy the sun and the scenery.

Here we are with Mount Washington in the background. We stopped at the Auto Road to take pics....not to drive to the top...been there, done that, and I hated it!!! It's my goal to hike it and others in the Presidential Range sometime next summer:)

This is the AMC's Pinkham Notch. They provide services for hikers and visitors to the White Mountain Region. They have coin operated showers (which I used because I was cold and bit stinky:), a cafeteria, huts for overnight stays, a shop, and much more. Adam worked here for a summer while in College.
