Hey ya'll, I was wondering what the fishing and mountain biking was like up in NH? Don't worry I only wish to vacation, not live there. No offense but I live in the south and not to keen on liberalism, which pretty much eliminates the whole northeast, at least to the best of my knowledge.
Anyways what do ya'll recommend things to see, places to stay, dining, country town type of place.

ThAnks for listening .
The Lakes region is a good place to start. Lots of towns in that region and Meredith is picturesque along Lake Winnipesaukee. The White Mountains are just to the north so you can take the Kank highway. Some smaller lakes are less crowded like Ossipee and Wakefield area. Rural NH is conservative, cities in the southern areas more liberal. My favorite part of the state is over by the Maine border in the eastern Lakes region but Conway and North Conway is a tourist trap. Franconia Notch would be another good spot for some biking as they have some paved pathways adjacent to I-93. For North Country fishing I would check out the Connecticut Lakes region up by Pittsburg, highway 2. Very beautiful rustic area with few people.

Both are pretty good. Many recreational areas are known for their bike trails.

New Hampshire is not "liberal", at least not in the traditional sense of the word. You really can't lump together the Northern New England states with the rest of the Northeast as a uniform whole.

There's a dedicated thread just for restaurants.
If you've never been to the area at all, research Monadnock, White Mountains, and Portsmouth,NH.
Best bets are to find "famous" places, then drive 20 minutes away, there are a lot of easily accessible places that just don't get much PR. Lakes region is not as great as it used to be, it the mountains still have a fair amount of good spots. Maybe hit up fish hatcheries in the region you'll be visiting and ask them about quiet spots and good times of year.
And no worries, most of NH isn't that liberal, it's just that our liberals have big mouths. Stay in an area where more people own than rent, and you'll do okay.
It certainly looks pretty up there. I'm not the big city type, I like that small charm country town type vibe.
When my wife graduated from college we looked at different regions but Virginia was the best option as far as career growth for the field she's in.
Me I skipped college and served in the Army, had the opportunity to take leadership and technical courses in mechanics. I was able to transition everything I learned back into the civilian sector, It turned out pretty well for me anyway.
Good for you. It is about a 5 to 6 hour drive from Virginia to New Hampshire. We just made the trip as part of a vacation in western Virginia. Use I-81 to 84 to 90 to 93 to avoid the NYC congestion. I suggest visiting in early Fall after school starts but before the leaves start turning color. That is a nice time to see our state.
GregW you must drive like a bat out of Hades. More like 8 hrs and if you are anywhere near DC add 2 hrs to either get through the I-95 traffic between F'burg and DC or bypass the whole mess via the Nice bridge in MD.
I just set the cruise control at 70 to 75 and don't stop very often. However, on checking the trip log, it did take 7 hours. The six hours was the drive down to the Baltimore ring road.
