My wife and I had the opportunity to take a long (4 day) weekend in the White Mountains two weeks ago. I am only now getting the opportunity to post an image from our short trip. This was our first chance this summer to get away and go camping. Students at our school for troubled teens have been keeping us very busy!
Annie and I drove up to Twin Mountain, NH on a Thursday morning and stayed at the Living Water Campground. We had stayed at Living Water before some years ago and had found it to be very nice. This campground features nice clean, flat sites, with some directly on the Ammonoosuc River. Another nice feature is that no radios or alcoholic beverages are allowed, and there is a 10PM to 7AM quiet hour for those of us that need to catch up on our sleep!
We spent some time exploring in our vehicle, barbecued some chickens at our campsite (yum!), and actually did get a hike in. Here’s Annie on top of Mt. Jackson, one of the peaks in New Hampshire’s Presidential range. The peak visible in the background is Mt. Washington, the highest mountain in the north east.

We did get a chance to try our new tent as well and light it up using a Xantrex XPower 1500. This cool gadget combines a 1500 watt power inverter with a 60 amp battery pack and can be charged with line voltage, cigarette lighter outlet in a car, or with alternative energy (e.g. a solar panel). This gadget worked well enough I’ll need to talk about it in another post!
