Hampshire Family Dental in Raymond is amazing

Me too. I used to work downtown and it was such a nice place to work. Strolling to the farmers market for Thursday afternoons, going for a walk to get a coffee. I miss it.

I’m a NH resident but have been away from NH for years for my spouses job and I completely understand what you mean. It’s great out west, and the desert is beautiful, but there’s something about NH that’s so special and homey. One thing I really missed living in the desert was the delineation in the seasons. In the winter it just kind of gradually gets colder, windier, and more grey. There’s usually a bloom in the spring but that and the temp increasing around May/June is the only real “the season has now changed” indication, versus in New England where you can clearly tell that the seasons are changing and there are different stages of change.

I wish you luck in AZ! Keep in mind it may look desolate and ugly (and it can be), but there is a lot of life in the desert if you’re willing to slow down and take it all in. Take more water than you need everywhere, even in the winter, because the dry air will seriously dehydrate you.

Love public access! There’s a couple towns with this type of set up.

Yuck

Don’t forget losing your job and then the inevitable homelessness because you were locked up with absolutely no notice.

The NH48 is a good list. Agree with everyone here that the AMC is a great resource. I have Smith & Dickermans “The 4000-Footers of the White Mountains” and it’s a great guidebook.

This makes me sad. I haven’t been around Raymond for 6ish years. It’s my least favorite part about how the area is changing is how much is just clear cut :/
