Enfield, NH (USA)

A big snow storm was expected by 1100 this morning so I didn’t have a lot of options for outdoor activity.  I’d saved a short section of the Northern Rail Trail near Mascoma Lake for this kind of scenario so headed over to Enfield (0845) to try to squeeze it in before snow arrived.  Temps were just over 10 degrees again and, with the overcast, it felt a lot colder.  Walked from the Rail Trail parking lot (right next to the old train depot) to the place where I’d previously parked (Hardy Street) near the Enfield-Canaan town line.  Saw lots of people with dogs and a few snowmobiles.  I passed some old (glass broken, roof cave in) buildings that looked like mills or factories - I guess the area has seen busier days.  Finished up by 1000 and headed home before a single snowflake had fallen - maybe I should have tried a longer walk...  Oh well - "getting outside to exercise" mission complete!
