we headed to jackson new hampshire on august 19. we stayed at the wildcat inn and had a groovy little suite right above the main dining area. it was a very pretty, comfy, and private set of rooms...we were very happy with our lodgings! the tavern downstairs made for a easy place to grab a beer or a bite. on the last night we were there, the tavern had live music billed as "edgy rock". it turned out to be a guy & a guitar...he played stuff that appealed to us (beatles, red hot chili peppers, etc), but edgy might have been too strong a word to describe the fellow's sound. there wasn't exactly a full house...six people at best. this might have been due to the freakish tornado warnings in the area that evening (that's another story!)...but whatever the reason for the low turn out, we felt a $20 tip was the right thing to do.
our main focus during our stay was looking at houses...drove by 12...visited 6...put an offer on 1...the same one as before!
we also enjoyed a drive up the mount washington auto road on a picture perfect day. it felt so good to take this excursion and the views were amazing! being on top of the mountain brought back so many cherished memories from our climb up the mountain back in 2000. as we were leaving, i noticed something colorful among the gray granite that warranted further investigation. it turned out to be a small make-shift shrine that was adorned with painted rocks. i was moved by the display and wanted to share in the spirit of it. i found a small rock, grabbed a purple marker from the car and made my own contribution to the shrine.
i love new hampshire!
