Is Rochester generally accepted to be part of the Seacoast? It seems like a stretch but I guess I don’t know what other region I’d put it in. Downtown’s closer to Lake Winni than Portsmouth Harbor…

It’s very reliable. Check C&J’s schedule online. On average I’d say it’s about an hour and five minutes, sometimes longer or shorter depending on traffic.

I go once a week from the Seacoast. I drive to the park and ride in Seabrook and then take the bus into South Station from there. It’s easy but still a time commitment.

I’d love to take the train but its schedule just isn’t conducive to a normal commute. I’d recommend against driving if you plan on doing it more than once or twice a week… it will break you as a person lol

You guys sound fun! I hope you figure something out that you enjoy. April’s indeed a tough time of year up here and the public transportation situation is abysmal.

Amtrak does have three stops in the state, all on the Seacoast: Exeter, Durham, and Dover. Unfortunately, none of these feature any place within biking distance that will astound you with natural beauty or spectacular stargazing.

You’re going to want to drive and you’ll want to head north, maybe somewhere like Lincoln or North Conway - both small mountain towns that offer some good dining, natural beauty, and dark skies. A drive along the Kancamagus (the route through the mountains connecting these two towns) at night will offer a number of pull-off locations to park and look up.

Keep in mind road shoulders could still be clogged with snow, sand, and other wintry debris. I personally wouldn’t be keen on biking in these areas at that time of year but I’m sure people do.

People are largely hostile to anyone from out of state buying homes here. Many also view anyone coming from Mass as another vote for the Dems, though historically Mass has sent us their GOP refugees.

I’m with you though. We’re doing better than the other two northern New England states with some of what you mentioned, but it’s easy to see NH just stagnating as cold Florida.
