Last day in New Hampshire


Today is our last day in New Hampshire . We visited Glen Ellis Falls in the White Mountians National Forest. Glen Ellis Falls is located just a half mile south of the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center on the Ellis River. It's one of the tallest falls in New Hampshire and surely one of the prettiest. It's very easy to get to and just a short walk from the road. You can get close enough to the falls to feel a shower of mist, very nice on a hot day!GLEN ELLIS FALLS : Height 64 feet. Here the forces of nature provide their own spectacular show. The fall of water attests to the tremendous powers of moving water. From the snow-covered or rain-drenched peaks this river is born to feed others. In the few seconds this message has held your interest, a minimum of 600 gallons of water has passed this point. At this rate, the daily needs of a city of 25,000 people could be satisfied. Water, indispensable to the needs of man is one of the resources of the White Mountain National Forest.Its waters begin their downward flow from the eastern slopes of Mount Washington (Elevation 6,288 feet). Near Glen, New Hampshire, it joins the Saco River which meanders through Maine to the Atlantic Ocean.

On Sunday Windy and I along with our friends Rachel and her daughter Jasmine volunteered for watch duty at the building site. We camp out all night and stayed awake around a roaring campfire . The temp. dropped to 38 degree's but the fire and hot chocolate kept us warm!

Our first day in New Hampshire


After our visit to the Wildlife Park we drove to Gorham NewHampshire ,in the heart of the White Mountains at the foot of Mount Washington. It was about a 1 1/2 hour drive . We went straight to the new Kingdom Hall building site in Gorham, its located at the top of a hill .The views up there are beautiful. We are surrounded by mountains. We arrived at about 2:30 pm and went right to work . Here are some pictures.
