The whole area is great, and a nice drive.

I'm heading out tommorrow and a nice round trip, which will include leaving auburn, Maine and heading to Berlin, nh, then onto Burlington vt area, to mount philo, then down to see ollie the camel, then onto Waterbury and cold hollow cider then back to Maine via the kangamagus highway to Conway and into Oxford Maine then home.

I'm a big outdoors person and the access to trails/lakes/mountains is just the best. My favorite spots are Red Hill and Copple Crown. The big lake is great, but can't afford to live too close to it!

Iv'e forgotten where you live roughly.....

I have been out and about in my area central and eastish NH and not much happened here, other than power losses. The rivers rose to lower flood stages, but no roads of much importance were washed out. A bunch of larger trees came down mostly because of the rain wetted the soil too much and the little winds we got blew them over root balls and all.

I took a few pics 'IF' you see that page the same way I do pics 4 and 5 are before and after. before is about 3 weeks before. After the river is up and one side runs dark and clear the other muddy. Kinda interesting. These are where the Swift meets the Saco.

Did any trees block roads? It always does surprise me a bit how easily they can fall due to shallow roots and wet soils.

Here and there trees few from wet roots and after the main storm passed a T storm followed that had somewhat more or lower ground winds that took out trees here and there too, but not in any real impacting ways.

Like coming back from Maine on a back road Rt 160 in Parsonsfield Me. there was a crew cutting one big spruce out of the road......

But no not really....

The biggest tree I am aware fell root ball and all right next to my driveway. This one is better than 100 feet tall and is a sugar maple. I don't think the pic does this majesty justice, but it is what it is. And next year by this time that wood will be all worked up in the field out back drying for the next years to come.

This place wolverines grill is newer..... The building was a eatery before, and i forget since they come and go so quickly whay it was called.

My son didn't recall the place with the new name when i asked him and he would have driven by the place until his recent move twice a day.

He was living in Jackson NH up by the red covered bridge, and driving to Fryeburg Maine to work.

Nice area. Is wolverines in that area? Was it the Scarecrow before? Is your son a reacher? I ask because there isn't a whole hell of a lot in Fryeburg other then the school. Yes there is some stuff, just not much.

No, Wolverines is just east/ south i guess of N Conway on the right leaving town. The Scarecrow is still there and seemingly doing fine. On rare occasions i go there, but almost never.

I have no idea what a reacher is, and guess you made a typo. At least that is what i want to believe..

But no my son is a engineer, and if you know the area you know who he works for. He is also NHNG.

That's 2 jobs he does and he is also a full blown carpenter when he wants to be, which could be on some of his off time, but he doesn't get much off time.
