Lake Winnipesaukee

Kate and I just got back recently from our 10 day vacation to Lake Winnipesaukee in NH. We had a great time with our friends and family. I got a ton of pictures, but I thought I only add a few on here. The picture above is from the top of Rattlesnake Island. To keep active on our vacation Kate, Bear and myself hiked the 2 mile trail around Rattlesnake every morning.

This is a picture from the falls at Castle in the Clouds. It was a nice spot to hike and sight see, but the Castle was a bit of a let down. We had a nice lunch on a terrace over looking the lake, but never made it to the actual castle after finding out that they wanted to milk another $7 per person just to take a trolley a few 100 yards up to the castle.. Forget it! Been there, ate there, got the t-shirt... later!

This is me at the top of Mount Major overlooking the lake. This was about 1,700 FT climb. Kate and I really enjoy hiking. It is great excercise and I like it much more then running all the time... I think Kate and I will be doing quite a bit more hiking in our future around PA. My goal for next summer is to attempt Mt. Washington (6,288 FT). Our friends just climbed it and had a great time. I saw a few of their pictures and I need to do it myself. Can't wait for our return trip next year....
