We packed a lunch box and took off early (0930…) for this side trip.
Scenic Hwy 16 going North along Androscoggin River is a real beauty,many small islands were formed in the river that made the waters running around them.
Errol is a nice stop before heading North,one store has it all ,like in the good old days,fishing,hunting,camping together with T shirts and ATV…all in one place,so we browsed around, used the restrooms and continued to Dixville Notch S.P.
After putting some anti bug repellent we hiked to a beautiful waterfall 
surrounded by woods that are covered with moss ,like in the fairy tails.
Going down the road we meet a local guy that suggested us to take a small road up the mountain to a golf course from witch the whole valley can be seen-and so we did.
At the bottom of this road is a huge hotel Balsam Resort,with a swimming pool facing a lake and the mountains,the decorations,rooms,pictures all in very good 
taste-take a look people are “suffering” here.
After visiting the place we got hungry and set our chairs and table in a good spot to enjoy taste and view at the same time.
This part of the state is more remote ,more agriculture ,easy going and beautiful…
To complete this gorgeous day we had some “Black Russian” (Vodka&Kahlua) on the rocks at sunset….
