We proceeded on...to Conway and some shopping and then beyond Conway into the White Mountain National Forest and a beautiful little campsite at the Hancock campground, marred only by the rain that came just as we were really getting into the campfire (we had just finished the s'mores and beer).

| View from along the highway |
 |
| A stop for a little hike in the yellow woods |
 |
| The creek (or "crick" as they say in Montana) |
 |
| The falls, part of them |
 |
Driving on to Peterborough...this, I was told, was
the first public library in the United States of
America... |
 |
| Main street, Peterborough |
 |
You have to feel pretty good about a
place where the Unitarian (Universalist)
church is still going strong |
 |
And the Baptist church has been
converted into a multicultural museum |
 |
| Thus |
 |
| Neat item in a neat store |
 |
| Main street view |
 |
| Town administrative offices |
 |
Peterborough also enjoys some fame as the "real"
site of Thornton Wilder's Our Town, a great play
that many of us were forced to read in high school |
 |
A paltry example of something we saw throughout
New England, a house joined on to a garage or barn
or both by another building; some of them (not
pictured) were huge |
 |
In Peterborough (or was it Jaffrey?) there was also
a humongous display of scarecrows, these done
by school kids; hmmm, not so sure about the one
on the left... |
