The weather was so nice today that I stopped working early and took Mollie on a drive to the eastern edge of Lebanon so we could go for a walk on the Northern Rail Trail. Over the next hour, we walked from the parking lot at Riverside Drive on the edge of Lebanon to the outskirts of Enfield (near the Park & Ride at the US-4/NH-4A intersection). The Mascoma River followed alongside us for a few miles and we stopped to watch the rushing water at several bridge crossings. The weather was so great! Temps were in the mid 50s when we started and then we were treated to an amazing red sky as the sun set. Happy to be able to show Mollie a pleasant November evening in the Granite State! We got back to our car just as it got dark and then drove into Lebanon, where we ate dinner at the Salt hill Pub (1700). Mollie thought it was "cool" that we got to sit at the bar - I enjoyed this took when I realized it help us meet several nice local people who told us about outdoor activities nearby. On the way home, I took Mollie on a scenic detour near the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital. Mollie told me that she'd really been enjoying the chance to take evening walks near by condo each day. Hopefully, there will be many more before the snow comes!
