Photos help me remember details otherwise lost to time. I remember being especially excited about taking this photo back in October 1995.

I'd noticed how nice the light was over this pond, so I brought my camera to work the following day.

Since then, trees have grown up in front of the water and mostly blocked this view from the road. This was shot along route 12A in my hometown of Plainfield. #NewHampshire #ThrowbackThursday #KonicaTCX

In #NewHampshire a bill was passed to end child marriage and raise the min. age to marry to 18.

The bill passed the Senate unanimously and in the House it passed 192 to 174.

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR!!! voted to sustain child marriage! WTF? And they say they need to protect kids from trans people!

One GOP representative argued this would restrict the freedom of those who are of “a ripe and fertile age”.
This is the modern day republican party folks.

August 31, 1983: The Appalachian Trail followed some dirt roads through a pleasant farm valley encircled by mountains and reentered the forest to begin a rather taxing climb up to Holts Ledge, the first real mountain it had thus far traversed in New Hampshire. It kept turning onto one woods road after another, and each was a bit steeper than the preceding one.
