The Tin Zen Den is making its way to the midwest. Ranman has his first assignment in Ohio, so this is our first stop along the way. I was expecting New Hampshire to be very similar to the Highlands Region in Maine..... I was wrong. Yes, there are mountains all around, there are abundant ponds, lakes and streams.....but the temperature here is considerably warmer.
We are still in moose country, so I am still hopeful about seeing one in this area but we are also in bear country....I don't want to see one of those.
Our neighborhood for the next two nights is Moose Pond State Park. There is a lovely pond that has crystal clear water and is about nine feet at its deepest point. The locals like the pond for swimming but all I can think about are snakes. Don't ask me why I fear snakes in fresh water, I just do. Besides, when you have lived next to Gulf Coast beaches for so long, a pond just doesn't substitute for the beautiful ocean.
The campsite is just average, we are near a picnic area close to the "beach".

The actual site is in the foreground where you see the picnic table and the Green Egg grill. We were allowed to park across the street from it because the site was narrow and not well shaded. Not much
privacy as we were pretty much next to the road in either location. I paid for two nights when we arrived, but we were not in love with the park and left after just one night. We were still dry camping with no hook ups and it was too warm for the Frenchie. Lesson learned.... do not pay for more than one night as a "walk up". A good night's rest is all you need before moving along to better possibilities if something about your location isn't ideal.
