Another very early start, this time to set off for Bartlett, in New Hampshire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartlett,_New_Hampshire , for a few days climbing.
It was heavy rain in NYC, as we set off at 0715 in Joes hired ’Jeep ’through the busy rush hour traffic.
As we travelled further North, the rain eased,passing through Manchester (yes, another one !)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester,_New_Hampshire and Springfield, home of ??http://www.chron.com/entertainment/photogallery/simpsonspremiere.html then turned to heavy snow !, as we wound our way around the White Mountains http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Mountains_(New_Hampshire) the road was distinctly ‘tricky’, but eventually we found our great house on a lake in Bartlett, the snow engulfing everything !
After a quick shopping trip for provisions, and the first of our many trips this week to East Coast Mountain Sports in North Conway http://www.ems.com/shop/index.jsp?kw=storeDetail&f=161 .
Then it was back to the cabin, before more snow arrived…
Should we go out to sample the food all around ? – No we settled for Nicolas Spag Bol –great !
There was so much snow around, that the snow plough was still coming around outside the cabin at Midnight !
