Frank's 2006 summer vacation – Part 1

I spent a week in July on vacation with my friends Moof and Jen. We went to New Hampshire, Maine, and Nova Scotia. Here are some highlights.

So here are the results. 20 pictures.

The Flume Gorge, Franconia Notch, New Hampshire

We stopped in New Hampshire on the way out to Points East. We hiked around The Flume, which is a neat, gorge-y sort of place (a flume is a narrow riverbed gorge, not some sort of Muppet-like creature).

[Frank vs. Franconia]

We stayed at a cute little B&B called Lovetts Inn. The next day we went to The Flume. There's a shot of Moof and Jen in front of the vistor's center. And then me pointing to what I would name my own country: Frankonia ("Hail, hail Frankonia, land of the free!"). Though they misspell it as Franconia. Someday, perhaps, I will liberate them from the oppresive yoke of misspelling under which they toil.

[Sign at the Flume]

Pictures of the water by the Flume (the Pemigewasset River) and a sign on how the glaciers created the area long ago.

[Funky sideways growing tree]

Another shot of a sign, the boardwalk path that goes by the water (Pemigewasset River), and a tree that was growing sideways.

[Bridge across the water]

A waterfall in the Flume. Moof in front of "Bear Cave." You don't want to awaken the sleeping Moof-bear. The last shot is of the Sentinel Pine Bridge that crosses the Pemigewasset River.

[water]

The Sentinel Pine Bridge was built in 1939 out of the "Sentinel Pine" a big honking tree. The entire bridge was from the one tree. The tree had been there for ages and eventually died and was made into a covered bridge. The last shot is of the misty water of the Pemigewasset River. It was a drizzly sort of day, but it kind of gave the area a mystique or atmosphere.

[another sign]

Another shot of the Pemigewasset River, and one of a tree growing over a rock. The tree doesn't really care if it'll take a few more decades to get its roots through the rock. And finally, yet another sign about glaciers.

End of New Hampshire.
