July 6th??? IT MUST BE NEW HAMPSHIRE

New Hampshire is merely between Vermont and Maine....our two destinations. It is not very wide and we only traveled a little over 100 miles today to cross it. But when I saw DIXVILLE NOTCH on the map I perked up. This news and history buff thought I would love a picture from Dixville Notch....remember???? It's the place that casts the very first ballots in a presidential election. And they cast them right after midnight of election day....and they are tallied shortly there after. I think that their results are always in by perhaps 1 am or so. Well....here's the only sign that I saw for Dixville Notch.

Perhaps you can read this.....and right next to these signs are the graves below....

So, we went and battled the mosquitoes at the picnic area for lunch....then took the beautiful hike up to the Huntington falls....about 5 min. from the picnic area. Well worth the short walk.

Dawson took this picture.

I took this one.

Then we went back out to the road to hopefull see the rest of Dixville Notch....it never came. Not a cluster of houses, not a general store, not a meeting hall....nothing. It must have been just a group of the folks who live in the "notch". Now I can't even say "I was there"....because I never found it!!!

Until we connect again....
