Roundtop

On June 14, 2009, we hiked to Roundtop Shelter on the Long Trail. Here is the view from the shelter, looking out toward Waterville (which isn't visible because it's behind a hill):

Note the field just left of center, with a barn at the lower left. This is the Lyle Locke farm on the Plot Road. If you enlarge the photo (a lot), you can see cows in the field.

I neglected to take a picture of the shelter, but here is a picture of the outhouse!

The purpose of the hike was to find Pink Lady's Slippers. Nancy and Emily had heard that there were a lot on this trail. Sure enough, we had no trouble finding them:

The Pink Lady's Slipper is the state wildflower for New Hampshire.
