This afternoon I made the decision to head home tonight rather than try to find a place to camp. I ended up sleeping in a rest area last night and it is supposed to rain tomorrow. It was supposed to rain today too, but all we had was an occasional sprinkle. That is, until I was about ten minutes from home. The rain came down hard making it hard to see the roads with all the water on it. I only felt one small moment of hydroplaning and I was very glad that I wasn't trying to sleep in a tent tonight. Other happy things for today:
- There was a pay phone at the rest area. I don't see those very often anymore.
 |
| There used to be two payphones here. |
- The reason I chose this weekend to go north was to be with some other SCA folk to tour some fair grounds for an event next year. I didn't have to be there until 11:30 though and I was awake and ready to do other things by eight or so. Instead I used the Alltrails app and found a short trail nearby.
 |
| The view overlooking Littleton, NH. |
- It was great to see people I haven't seen in over a year. The site the event will be at was pretty cool too.
 |
These little footprints were not very big,
I think they might be squirrel prints. |
- After all the business was done I headed for the Mount Prospect Fire Tower. This is a beautiful stone structure like one might see as part of a castle.
 |
| Spectacular views of the mountains. |
 |
The house is now a museum commemorating the life
and achievements of John Wingate Weeks.
I learned a lot today. |
- There are a few different trails at the State Park and I chose to do the Around the Mountain Trail.
 |
| The map. |
 |
| Lens says that these are flowering raspberries. |
 |
| Also according to Lens, this is brown knapweed. |

The smudge in the top left of this picture is
a raindrop on the windshield. |

I tried starting a different book today, but fell asleep.
Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.
