Here we are at the Beach Family Area. Nice shaded sites on the Sago River. This place had to be re-done after Hurricane Irene last year flooded the place. Today we took off on an adventure to meet Pip and Cecile and get back the booze they stored for us while we went to Canada. We saw a farmers market on the way and stopped in for fresh vegetables and bread. UMM good
After the job was done we continued up to The Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park. The flume is a natural gorge at the base of Mt Liberty. The walls of Conway granite rise 70-90 ft and are 12-20 feet wide. The Flume was discovered by a 93 YO woman named Jess Guernsey when she found it accidently in 1808 .
The pool above is a deep basin in the Pemigewasset River. It was formed at the end of the Ice Age 14,000 years ago by a silt laden stream flowing from a glacier. The pool is 40 feet deep and 150 feet in diameter and is surrounded by 130 foot cliffs.
