September 26th – Squam Lake and Environs

Decided to explore the area around our B&B. There are a number of covered bridges nearby and we found one that was not on the map we had. This is the Durgin Bridge that was build in 1826. It is near the Center Sandwich Historic District.

I would love to have the white paint concession for this area. Almost all the buildings in this area are painted white. While in Center Sandwich we stopped at the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen shop and bought a very nice handmade mug.

We also went to Tamworth and saw the Barnstormers Theater building. This is the first summer theater in the US. The town was also very charming.

There was a chance of thunderstorms so we decided to have dinner at a waterfront restaurant in Holderness near to the B&B. The restaurant is on Little Squam Lake. While we were there the storm came thru and Linda saw a small waterspout on the lake.

We are going to explore the Kancamagus Highway (NH 112). This is part of a National Byway. We are hoping to see even more color tomorrow.
