Hello all. Great to hear how much everyone is enjoying the Blog! We had a great Saturday. Loaded up with the dogs in the AM and headed north with no plan other than a hike, some foliage and a good meal.
We ended up heading to Castle in the Clouds. It is an amazing stone mansion in the White Mountains that was built in 1914 and is now a 5800 acre preservation. The owner hired 12oo workers, including 120 stone workers and crafted the mansion in just 18 months. We hiked in and around the trails on the auto road to the top of the mountain. Lisa found a great stump with moss that looks just like a turtle. Who needs the Man on the Mountain? The mansion is unbelievable, from the view to the innovation the builders crafted in 1914. It had running water, electricity and central vac. Decades ahead of its time! We have already decided that this is where Nicole is getting married and I'm putting together a Dream Team of Chefs for the Wedding of the Century!!!!!!!!!(just kidding, but it sure would be awesome)
We made our way over to North Conway. Picked our pumpkins at a small farm and then traversed over to Moat Mt Smokehouse for a quick meal. On the way back home we shot over West Side Road and came across an Elk grazing in a pasture on the side of the road. First time either of us has seen an Elk in the wild.
Another great Daycation. GO SOX!
