I haven't reduced hiking, just how often I trek to the Whites
. I was always of fan of carpooling to the Whites and the hiking locales, it is easier, safer, and spreads the cost.
from nashua traveling to:
Beaver Brook Conservation area- 5 minutes
Miller State Park- Pack Monadnock- 30 minutes
Monadnock SP- Mount Monadnock- 45-50 minutes
almost 2 hours to Franconia Notch or Lincoln Woods(210 rt miles give or take)
2.5 to Crawford
3+ to Pinkham
Grafton Notch SP- 3 1/2 (372 miles rt)
Maine Rangelly region 5 hours to 5.5 (470 miles rt)
Get 37 plus mpg with my Saturn on the interstates, 32 city which does help.
I already sytarted doing more local hikes in the Monadnocks and So. NH, such as Pawtuckaway SP,......That Midstate Trail may probably see my boots sooner than I planned!
CARPOOL anyone? Let me know!
