My husband and I are up in New Hampshire and Maine for about 10 days. It’s been an unbelievably long time since either of us have been up this way and it’s been wonderful to explore some new places and get to know some new plants and animals. I hiked along a few legs of the Cohos Trail, including up to and along the NH-Canada border to Fourth Connecticut Lake (the headwaters of the Connecticut River). This post is just a brief highlight of some of the fun finds from our first few days in the Pittsburg, NH area.

Annie, I’ve never made it up to Baxter State Park, but I hope to some day. That’s awesome that you were able to see a moose. We’re most of the way through our NH/ME trip at this point, so I might strike out in that department. But there’s been a lot of awesome plants, fungi, waterfalls and birds to keep me entertained. As for the pinecone gall midge – it was definitely not a common thing. I only noticed it on a single willow on one trail. But definitely a cool little construction.
