The Great North Woods
Right after we crossed into New Hampshire we found this fun sign, a pose was necessary. How do I look as a moose?
Other than stopping for a few caches we only made one other stop in New Hampshire and it was to have lunch. That didn’t work out so well. We stopped at the Waterwheel Breakfast & Gift House in Jefferson, along US-2. We stood by the door and the “Please wait to be seated” sign for nearly 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Once we were seated the waitress took our order fairly quickly. I decided to shop the gift store while we waited for our food and while my purchases were being rung up the owner of the joint started yelling at his waitresses. Now they were in the kitchen but his voice carried throughout the place. He was yelling because they were bringing him orders and more orders and it was 1:45 - the place was due to close in 15 minutes. He said he was the owner and he would just throw everyone out. He droned on, rather loudly, for a good 5 minutes (felt like longer). Some people came in and they were turned away. We decided to leave without eating. 45 minutes wasted! Needless to say New Hampshire left us with a sour taste.
Even with stopping for a couple of caches in New Hampshire we were through the state in less than an hour driving time. Like Vermont, it’s a little state. Then we were in Maine! Woo-hoo!
We stopped for a cache and found this cute little wayside.
Picnic time.

What a Man!
I’m sure you have heard of the Old Man of the Mountain but did you know that New Hampshire also has an Old Man of the Valley?
We decided to take the short walk and check it out.
No, I don’t think this is the result of the crumbling of Mountain Man as my son tried to convince me teasingly.
But he is pretty cool. And you can get right up by him.
In fact, I even gave him a little kiss, which Haden snapped proof of for me.

Macro Monday - My son loves me (?)
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky. Don't forget to visit each other. :)
My son brought me a present - Moose Poo - sadly that's the closest to a Moose we got. It's sweet that he gathered it so lovingly in some birch bark though, isn't it? And doesn't anything look great under a macro lens? ;0)
Maybe I would have preferred a wildflower present - but then there's the issue of the bug. . .
