So, this week I've been on vacation from my 'day job' .... now, a lot of people I know would have to have plane tickets to a tropical destination in order to consider time away from work a 'real' vacation. Not me. I'm a pretty low maintenance vacationer...just need my pack, some survival gear, and my 'camera stuff'. Hiking buddy optional (desireable, but very optional).
Today, I had the pleasure of enjoyin an EPIC spring day in NH with my Dad! He still lives in Canaan, so we have a lot of road-distance between us (lake Winni really does get in the way). No worries - we both like to start early, so we set out at about the same time this morning to meet at our destination, Pinkham Notch.
Having left at 4:45am, I had time for some extras...I stopped for about 45 minutes at the lower falls right off the 'Kanc' for some magic hour shots...Then, on my way through Conway I stopped at the bridge right before the old school to get some shots of some VERY impressive lenticular clouds hovering over one of my favorite mountain ranges. Then up to the Visitor's Center...
We met at about 8:00 and carpooled a couple of miles up to the Imp Loop Trails. These trails are usually empty on winter/early spring week days so they're perfect pickin's. We hiked, talked, ate, and so on. To many, this doesn't really sound like too much of a 'vacation', but to me, it's absolute paradise [insert BIG smiley face HERE].
