I was up in your neck of the woods today (literally!). DH and I went up to Franconia Notch and went for a hike at the basin. Halfway out it started to rain on us :( I don't know what happened, it was beautiful out when we left our house in MA, but by the time we got up there it was raining! So we got in the car, went to get a bite to eat and drove around for awhile. Just got back about 20 minutes ago. I just wanted to let you know that I was up there and I thought of you :-)

Yeah, what was up with the rain ? It was very poopy and humid, although I do like the smell of wet pavement. My officers and I have been bored to tears - one keeps calling in for the Bruins/Canadiens score, the other goes out on patrol, comes back with a coffee for me, goes out on patrol, comes back with a soda, inoutinoutinoutinout.
I like walking from the Flume to the Basin, and sometimes park at lafayette CG and walk to Profile Lake. I'm sure your'e aware, but several years ago a big mother chunk of rock came off and boinged down Cannon Cliff, and when you walk on the path to Profile, one of the chunks rests right next to the trail. Trees have started to grow again, but it left this swath of nakedness that is very impresive.
You will have to let me know when you are coming up again to this area and i will let you know if I am working that day - stop in and say hi ! Hopefully I won't be super-busy, but that would be cool !
Of course, if the idea wigs you out, that is ok, too. I won't be offended. (Hey, I can't be TOO weird if I work here. On second thought, the people who work here are pretty weird, but in a 'good'way...LOL)

I've always wanted to do that walk to Profile Lake, but I always figured I was too out of shape to do it (it's like 5 miles round trip, isn't it?) I'm sure I could do it now, since I've been exercising a lot. This summer we'll definitely have to check it out.
I'll definitely let you know the next time we go up there. I think it would be so cool to meet you!
BTW, I love the smell of wet pavement, too. I thought it was just me.

The walk to profile isn't bad - no real hills, it just wobbles up and down, and ir you are worried about being out of shape, I did it in Feb of 2000 when I weighed 230 and was loaded with heavy boots and clothes. I was with my old boyfriend and our Chocolate Flabrador (yeah, she was fat TOO)and we all survived, so it's not like climbing Lafayette, which I've done, and DON'T recommend it. Over the last year or so EVERYONE has been coming to Lincoln to die in the woods, mountains or rivers. Kids, adults, dogs...and most of them on MY SHIFT!!! WTF is up with THAT!!!!!!!!
