Maple Sugaring Season in New Hampshire
New Hampshire’s maple sugaring season has begun! A long-standing tradition synonymous with spring, the season runs from late February to early April typically depending on location and weather. This industry contributes $5 million dollars annually to New Hampshire’s state economy and typically provides 90,000 gallons worth of maple syrup, though last year’s season reported a record of 125,000 gallons of syrup. Now put that number into perspective with this fact: roughly forty gallons of sap are required to make one gallon of syrup!
Historical Leaf Peeping: A Voyage from Boston to South Peak Resort!
According to New Hampshire’s Fall Foliage report, this week will be the last week to see leaves at their peak, so if you’ve put off the usual fall trip, get in gear! Indeed, some of the more northern areas of the state are past peak, so you really must seize the moment this weekend! If you have been stalling that weekend drive to see fall color, it might be a good idea to schedule in various other activities in your schedule so that you avoid any autumnal disappointments. With that in mind, we’ve drawn up a brief outline for those who might be traveling say, from Boston to South Peak!
The Flying Yankee October 7-9
The Flying Yankee is a one-of-a-kind diesel-electric streamliner train (only 3 of its kind were ever built) that is chugging its way towards the end of a massive restoration project to return the engine to serviceable state.
Truly a rare and ingenious relic of its day, the Flying
Yankee was born under the watch of the Boston
and Maine –Maine Central railroads, the first long-distance engine not powered by steam. Built for speed, the Flying Yankee sported on-board dining and air conditioning, and was in service through World War II. In 1957 it retired to Carver, Massachusetts.
New Hampshire Highland Games & NEDS Golf Classic
The NHGSC organization (formally known as The New Hampshire Gathering of the Scottish Clans) dedicates an immense portion of their time and effort into a fantastic annual event called the New Hampshire Highland Games. Hosted by Loon Mountain Ski Resort in quintessential Lincoln, NH, the Highland Games attracts upwards of thirty-five thousand individuals every year to enjoy good food, games, competitions, and music, and is also one of the largest Scottish festivals in the country!
Welcome, Spring!
The winter season was amazing, but it’s time to hang up the skis, snowboards, and snowshoes — Spring weather is finally here! Lincoln is alive with a variety of birds, the steady cheeping of Peepers throughout the night, the roaring of the Pemigewassett River, and occasional rumbling thunder storms. The
past few days have been very nice, with temperatures approaching the mid-70s. Most of the snow has melted throughout the South Peak Resort property, and green grass, daffodils and the budding trees are simply gorgeous.
