On my way to a conference in Maine that was starting Sunday evening. I had to fly out on Saturday to make the start, so I flew to Boston, rented a car, and spent the night at the Black Swan B&B in Tilton, NH. Sunday's drive to the conference only required about 3 h and the start time was 6 PM, so I had some extra time to squeeze in a few hikes. The weather was perfect. The choices turned out to be quite good, too. (1) Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park (Photos 2-6). (2) Falling Waters Trail (Photos 7 and 8). The first photo was taken from close to where I parked for the second hike.
The end of our week-long trip to Southern California was a visit to Hearst Castle. We took the grand tour and also saw the 40-min film, Building the Dream. We needed to scoot home afterward to get the rental car returned by the 6 PM deadline. The 3+ h spent at Hearst Castle wasn't long enough for a thorough visit. But it was a worthwhile outing, nevertheless.
