I was glancing through "my pictures" file looking for photos that might inspire a post. I'm sorry to say I have not been out traveling much in the last few months so the pickings are slim! But I came across some photos my daughter took one stormy afternoon going through the Franconia Notch in the White Mountains on our way to our house in Vermont.
It's a funny place the "Notch"... passing through on a sunny clear day you are awed by the beauty of the mountains that engulf you as you head north, yet days like the one these pictures were taken have a certain gloom about them with a bold reminder of the quick and fierce storms that can roll through these granite topped peaks , easily claiming lives as they have done so many times in the past. We have a saying whenever we go hiking in Franconia Notch...."cotton kills"....it is part in jest but also a reminder to be prepared while enjoying the great outdoors in this spectacular park.
Post your comments about experiences you have had while hiking the "Notch".
Check the link to Franconia Notch for more information on hiking and camping in this section of the White Mountians.

We used to go camping up in the White Mountains when I was in high school. I still remember climbing Mt. Washington with my good buds April and Fran and being quite upset to find that once we got to the top, they had pay toilets.
Yeah, that's a bit anti-climatic!
Dorothy, did you grow up on the East coast?
