Two Fall Adventures
October 2013

My daughter was here last week and we went on several
outings. She brought her camera, and I brought some
radio gear.

I worked Denmark, Germany, Surinam, Ecuador and France.
Here are some of the photos she took.


Judy and I hiking on the trail to Knox Mountain

On the first trip we went to Knox Mountain. It was a lovely fall day and we
had a wonderful family outing. The colors along the brook were mesmerizing.



Crossing the brook now that the bridge is gone is always a bit challenging.
We balance carefully on a narrow board.



Once at the pond the girls rested in the sunshine while I set up the radio.
Here's my log:

A few days later we took a bike ride on the old Northern Rail route from Andover.
There's a lovely restored covered bridge across the Blackwater River.



Several miles up the trail we stopped at the old Potter Place railroad station.
It's a museum now.



Up the trail a mile or so we stopped again. I set up the KX3 and
made a few QSOs. Here's my log:
