Lyme, NH (USA)

Had thought about hiking some AT but I got busy with other things (including some shopping) in the morning.  Eventually left the house for some outdoor time (1300) and went walking in Lyme (off River Road).  Parked at Hewes Brook boat launch, which was practically a skating rink.  Had to wear spikes to walk around in the area - there was limited "in the woods" opportunity. Weather was OK (not too cold). To get more exercise, I walked south on the road towards the Hidden Valley Wildlife Conservation Area.  Took a detour on Wilmot Way, looking for a trail up to the top of Lyme Hill (no luck) and then walked back to the car.  Was done by about 1500 and drove home.  Happy New Year!
