Winter

Winter in northern New England has not only cold, very cold temperatures but also offers many outdoor activities, such as skiing, snowmachine rides, ice fishing, hunting, and hibernation for us older folks that cannot migrate to warmer climates.





The Presidential Range offers hikers gorgeous views, but be aware the weather can be deadly. Be prepared, and if the weather is the least bit questionable stay on the lower slopes, or do not attempt a hike.







Ice fishing is often a family affair, pet’s included.

 We zoomed through Yellowstone on a coach and unfortunately it never stopped when we saw herds of  bison or elk. We never did see any bear or wolves a disappointment nevertheless the landscape was awesome. We stayed near Old Faithful and watched it several times, Listening to presentations from the park rangers is always a favorite activity of mine. Grand Teton is breathtaking. Jackson Hole, is an okay tourist trap, with plenty of places to eat and drink.

Mount Rushmore and The Crazy Horse monument are spectacular as is devils tower where I only saw one alien 👽. The Little Bighorn Battlefield gives you a very somber feeling, not only for the loss of the seventh cavalry but also for the way the Indians were treated by the United States Government. The Government broke most of the treaties they negotiated,  and tried to starve them by slaughtering millions of bison 🦬 that they relied on for subsistence. When they did settle on reservations crooked agents stole the food and supplies the government sent for their subsistence.

Fall:

Crawford Notch NH    Fall in New England's  North Country is as beautiful as anywhere in the world.  The intensity  of the foliage varies somewhat year to year but it never ceases to amaze me.   Mother nature is by far a better designer than the most talented engineer, or architect. Crawford Notch is a great place to view the Foliage, the Flume and Silver Cascades falls can be seen from the road. Leaf Peepers   not to be confused with Spring Peepers ,  drive me nuts! Never drive closer than 50 yards off the rear of a leaf peepers car!  They are a very unpredictable species and can be dangerous, stopping suddenly or changing directions in a moment without warning. While on vacation in Florida several years back I was driving through the central part of the  state, it is cattle country, miles of pasture and woods, I was peeping, ......... when a local Floridian, Florida Cracker honked as he flew by me signaling to me that I was number one? Well he was showing me one fin
