If you havent' seen the other quizzes they are at https://trailsnh.com/quiz-map/<br /><br />What to you think? We could collaborate on what peaks might be good for a map based quiz. <br /><br />Let me know. <br />kimball@trailsnh.com <br /> Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04704787488611383236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948411834442673072.post-48051107752746986042019-12-28T18:02:50.226-05:002019-12-28T18:02:50.226-05:00Happy Birthday to one of the most amazing 17-year-...Happy Birthday to one of the most amazing 17-year-olds out there.

Your choice of trails reminded me of when you were little and did these peaks, after that guy tried to convince your mom you shouldn't (though in reverse this time). Thanks for including all those flower shots; what do you think about the Alpine Garden this year (I know you are the maintainers)? We miss every year and are hoping to finally see it in bloom.

Having mild autism, I enjoy any opportunity to find peace and quiet and just immerse myself in nature…although sadly that’s often easier said than done up here in Colorado. Are crowds getting to be an issue in New Hampshire? It seems like you had the trail to yourself for the most part.<br /><br />Also, I always seem to have some pretty amusing encounters whenever I hike solo. For instance, when I visited Lost Maples Park back when I was still living in Texas, I passed at one point a family with a boy aged 7 or 8 who was playing “real-life Super Mario Galaxy”, doing spin jumps all over the fairly steep and rocky downhill trail while imitating Mario's "Yahoo!"s. Meanwhile his parents had worried faces, as though they were internally screaming “Careful. CAREFUL!” I don’t know if you & Sage played those games when you were little, but I thought it was funny since I had just beaten Super Mario Galaxy 2 at the time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220288726671721727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948411834442673072.post-90325341337805562332018-04-30T17:48:15.926-04:002018-04-30T17:48:15.926-04:00Its wonderful to see you strong young women enjoyi...Its wonderful to see you strong young women enjoying hiking in whatever conditions the weather gods throw at you!

I have mild autism and I have found that for me, hiking solo is a great way to get away from all the noise of life and find my inner peace, not to mention appreciate the beauty of nature! Now that I’ve graduated from college I finally got the opportunity to leave Houston (not the best place to live for a shy nature-lover like myself, if I do say so) and move to Denver - and I couldn’t be happier.<br /> <br />To quote one of my Mom’s favorite songs - hold your head up movin’ on!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220288726671721727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948411834442673072.post-28276261848881031572018-02-24T18:20:45.086-05:002018-02-24T18:20:45.086-05:00Thank you!
