Oak Ridge

A rare Monday off encouraged us to go to Castle in the Clouds in Tuftonboro for an easy day. Beautiful location on Lee Mountain. Queer house. Tragic ending for the Thomas Plant story is about all I can say.
Muh checking out the waterfall leading up to the "castle":


A nice trail map of the Ossipee Range provided by Lakes Region Conservation Trust gave us high hopes for many hikes to come. Our first effort on the Oak Ridge Trail was very disappointing. You could have driven an eighteen-wheeler up the trail!


Lucknow from Oak Ridge:






Duh admiring the view of Gunstock on the other side of Winnipesaukee:




The major trailhead at Shannon Pond features "Feed the giant trout"--these trout are 3 times larger than any trout I've ever seen!


The ducks were equally fond of the Trout Chow.
