Hey hey USA - 5th October - Pinkham Notch and Square Ledge
A notch in New Hampshire means a narrow mountain valley, and we followed the road through the White Mountains to Pinkham Notch where Mike had planned a walk. This valley was first recorded in 1784 but little used until the road was created in the 1920's. Mike said there was not much vertical ascent but I was starting to feel a little tired. Nevertheless with some puffing and panting and a little scrambling and complaining I managed to get up to the overlook called Square Ledge. The view over the wooded hills was worth it and it was not such a long walk. The western edge of Pinkham Notch is bounded by Mount Washington which was our next objective.
