Why I Love New Hampshire

It's Summer in New  Hampshire
where the no-seeums, black flies, and 'skeeters
are all just beginning to bite.
At every turn, the little varmits
are  just waiting to alight.
The smell of bug repellent,
is heavy in the air.
As folks spray it liberally,
on skin and clothes and hair.
Oh, how I love New Hampshire
Where the sky is blue and bright.
If only it weren't for the darn weather,
which changes over night.
Yes, the livin' here is wonderful,
I guess I'll stay a bit.
I would never leave New Hampshire
'Cause my heart is stuck on it.

Whether you visit with us or not, we welcome hikers to register and leave their itinerary with us should they wish to have a local resource knowing that they are hiking the area.

We will record start time, planned route, car registration, and emergency contact information. We will provide you with our toll-free phone number to contact us after your hike from any of the many pay phones located in the Notch to let us know that you are off trail.

As hikers, we welcome hikers and want to insure that all your hikes are safe ones.
