After having a great Thanksgiving Weekend, I left Katie's (after saying goodbye to John) at around 0645. I then drove to Burlington, MA via MA-139, MA-28, I-93, I-95 (MA-128) and US-3. Arrived at the FAA Northeast Regional Office at 0800 and picked up my new ID (0800). That only took a little while and I was back in my car by 0830. I then dialed into work meetings and made work phone calls as I drove north (using US-3, other back roads, NH-101A and NH-13) - also stopped a few times so I could work on some easy assignments on my computer. Since it was a beautiful Fall day, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to take a nice walk. Located a trailhead for the Granite Town Rail Trail on NH-13 in Milford (NH) and then spent over an hour walking the northern two miles (along with the backtrack). Due to neighborhood development in several places, I ended up having to scramble up and down some pretty good size hills (certainly not the typical rail trail). Turned around at the parking lot at Melendy Road. Will have to come back again soon to finish the rest... Back at my car, I cleaned myself up and then drove home (via NH-13, NH-77, NH-144, NH-77, Sugar Hill Road and I-89). Arrived at my condo by 1330 and spent the rest of the afternoon teleworking. Really glad for this getaway!
