Still working on getting back into hiking shape, I've been looking at shorter walks and conservation areas.
Ideally, a few views, some non-road walking some trails and a map ...
The Epsom Town forest on Nottingham Mountain caught my attention and I started looking at it.
Hmm, not far away, a map, a trail , some vistas and some ledge ....

I'm not generally a fan of fireworks, but they make interesting photographic subjects.
I havent been able to get out to do much photography the last few months, and really needed to just do something last night.
Anything.
Even fireworks.
Though Candia is a smallish town, the display was impressive.

I don't hike outside of NH much, not out of ay sense of loyalty, just not interested for some reason.
But I've looked at Mt Agamenitcus from a lot of other peaks and I have heard some positives about it.

So with a spare afternoon of good weather, I decided to head for Maine.

After spending a few days with plague, I was more behind than usual on some paperwork, so I played catch-up Sat Morning.
I missed the LRCT celebration on Mt Piper, managed to reach the gate at about 2 PM.
It was like driving by Mt Major ... lots of cars !

Well, it was late, and I decided I wanted a shorter and more solitary hike anyway.
So I drove up the carriage Rd to the top parking lot and walked down the road to the White Trail and headed for the Boulder Trail

I've been hearing about the new trail at the end of Reed Rd for a while.
It provides access to the col between E & W Quarry summits on the DR Quarry Trail from Reed Rd, off rt 11A.
It does not have an official name yet. I think the BRATTS and SPNHF should sponsor a contest or some sort of event to name it :)
"Reed Rd Trail" is just a little too ... pedestrian? ;)
Previously, the only approach to this section of trail was via the Quarry trail itself, coming in from Major or Straightback or the Marsh Crossing or Rand.
So this shortens the access quite a lot.
I do have some qualms about that - it seems like some parts of the range *should* be a little inaccessible, and this section of trail fit that bill pretty well.
Oh well, chalk it up to getting grumpy and set in my ways :)
