We didn’t have to look any further than out our balcony to find a stunning vista of changing leaves. Every morning the color was slightly different.
.
.
And you know I couldn’t resist that.
.
.
On our way out that morning I noticed a sign I hadn’t spotted the night before… and I had a hard time believing it wasn’t put there just for me.
.
.
No worries Pollard Brook Resort, I didn’t see any to feed… though I do take exception to the word varmint. In my experience, there are far more two legged ones of those.
.
.
Ah… I do love the mountains.
.
.
On the agenda that morning? Sabbaday Falls off the Kancamagus highway.
.
.
It won’t surprise you to learn my husband’s first thought when he read this was, “I wonder if the tools are still there…” Good thing he didn’t have a shovel handy.
.
.
It was just under half a mile hike to the falls.
.
.
Past a babbling brook and on a wide, leaf lined path.
.
.
As the elevation increased, fencing.
.
.
It was so beautiful. So peaceful…
.
.
A little farther on and the brook turned into a pool.
.
.
Surrounded by glacial boulders. I was in rock heaven…
.
.
And the husband was taking pictures, so you know it was good.
.
.
We’ve driven by this area numerous times but never took the time to stop. Clearly that was a mistake.
.
.
It took 10,000 years for water to wear down the rock and form the falls.
.
.
With my bad knee, it took me nearly half that time to climb all the stairs.
To be continued….
