I sectioned hiked the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway. I did the first 4 days as a solo hiker so I did a "there and back". After 2 weekends I decided to do the last 32 miles as a thru-hike
This is my day 3 adventure of 10-plus miles from Bog Road in Nelson to Rt. 9 in Stoddard. See you in the next hike/section.

Day 2 on the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway Trail
>I sectioned hiked the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway. I did the first 4 days as a solo hiker so I did a "there and back". After 2 weekends I decided to do the last 32 miles as a thru-hike.
This is my day 2 adventure of 10.25 miles from Rt 101 in Harrisville to Bog Road in Nelson. I find wildlife and it was my first time using an open-air privy (joy). I spent so much time at Child's Bog Dam, that I'm afraid to admit. It was a good hike. See you in the next hike/section.

New England Legends (the man the myth the legend)
I got another dose of my favorite storyteller last night. Jeff Belanger is a New
England local and legend seeker. I have been listening to his podcast for the
last couple of years and was looking forward to him returning to his lectures at
local libraries. He tells tales of discovery, bizarre, and unexplained. He gives
me something to “look for” while I am out hiking in my state of New
Hampshire.
I forgot how enchanting he can be when telling a story. He sucks you right into it and surprises you at the climax like you are doing the research with him. He explains the details he went through while learning about the local legend and the actual site visits. He makes the history of New England seem…not so boring. After all, this is where the “New World” was settled first so it should be rich in American History.
Picture taken in Providence, RI some time around 12 years ago.
Picture taken on 11/3/22, we tried to recreate the picture (best we
could).
I shared with him the times we met up, The Stanley Hotel, Washington Hotel, and other ghost hunts I had done with him and he was surprised at how long I have been a fan. I pull out a book of his, Picture Yourself Legend Tripping, which he told me that is currently unavailable now (except for the 2 copies in his house that he can not find). I went through it and noticed an unopen CD/DVD at the end of the book. The paper sleeve was still sealed. I never opened it and watched it. He told me it is good and worth watching. I was embarrassed that I had not even watched the video. The book was so great I forgot it had a disc in it. It will be my Friday Night feature to watch tonight.
I am happy to have my favorite storyteller at arm’s length again and I look forward to learning more about the weirdness of New England.
