This weekend, we camped. Trading the
city bustle for a rugged mountain backdrop, pristine lake waters, tall
birch trees, dreamy sunsets and a night sky dotted with stars proved to
be the ultimate wilderness escape.
From
Piper Cove in the quiet town of Holderness, New Hampshire, we loaded up
our gear into canoes and paddled 2 miles across Squam Lake to the
remote and peaceful spot. The small island is owned and preserved by the
Squam Lake Association and home to three campsites, hiking trails and a
few small beaches. (In addition to wildlife that includes loons, frogs, snakes(!), lots and lots of rambunctious squirrels and owls.)
It was relaxing as much as it was an adventure. I love a good mix of both.
That looks like such a fun time!
