CHLOE VISITS NEW HAMPSHIRE


This past weekend Chloe enjoyed some much needed rest in New Hampshire.  Of course, there was lots of letterboxing, too!  Here's Chloe at Eisenhower Wayside Park in Bretton Woods.  It was a beautiful, clear day with great views of the White Mountains. 








Chloe helped find the Happy Hiker box on the top of Wildcat Mountain after an exciting gondola ride.  She was thrilled to learn the box is located on the Appalachian Trail and is thinking of hiking from Georgia to Maine soon.  










Here's the future AT thru-hiker posing for the camera.  There are a ton of letterboxes along the Appalachian Trail.  I think she is planning on stopping at every one!

Chloe Loves Rock Climbing!

Here's Chloe and her friend Cherry taking in the view from the top of Red Rock in Gloucester.  We had to do some tough rock climbing to get to this box, but it was worth the work!  Tropical Storm Hanna was on the way, so it was an overcast, muggy day.  A little bad weather never slowed us down!  











Once we got to the top of Red Rock it took us quite a while to locate the box.  Once we found the box Chloe volunteered to climb into the space between two big rocks to get it, but she changed her mind when she saw the big spider guarding the box!  Luckily Hubby was there, and he's brave, so we sent him to get the box.  That's chivalry!

Chloe Visits Vermont

              

Chloe spent Labor Day weekend with AFBrat, Hubby and Cherry the Chick in Vermont.  She toured Ben and Jerry's where she learned how ice cream is made, then she ate too much of the yummy stuff!!  Phish Food is her favorite, of coarse!  She was a good girl and licked all her paws clean.  Here's Chloe and her friend Cherry posing at Battery Park in front of Lake Champlain in Burlington. 







On Sunday Chloe got to ride in a gondola to the top of the highest mountain in Vermont, Mount Mansfield.  She really enjoyed the ride, and wasn't scared of heights at all!  Here's AFBrat hanging out at the top of mountain with Chloe and Cherry the Chick.  








Here's Chloe helping us find the How to Earn Your French Fries box in Burlington.  The hunt started at a yellow bus called Beansie's, which has been selling french fries since the 1940's.  We had some of the famous fries and really enjoyed them.   Chloe's being a good girl and I think she is having a lot of fun with us!
