The family and I went to the park last weekend in Hooksett. My Son calls it the "Rocket Park", as they have a large slide shaped like a rocket. He has a friend that lives near there and so this has become his favorite park.

There are some train tracks that run down by the river behind the park, so Mama and Baby decided to show them to me. I didn't know they existed there, so I was anxious to check them out. You can find neat crap sometimes down by the tracks.

As we approached the tracks, there was an odd black cable that was strung across the path up in the trees. Upon tracing them back, I discovered that they are old power lines. The pole in the picture above is what they were attached to. The hill in the back of the picture is the edge of some soccer fields on the outskirts of the park.

Seeing this photo while going through the pictures got me thinking. There has to be a lot of great old places to explore in New Hampshire. I am going to make that my new hobby. I will capture my explorations in photos so I can share with you all. If anyone has any suggestions of places to see, please let me know. I am thinking that one of my first stops is going to be an abandoned town that I read about. That will come in a few weeks after things dry up a little, as it is a hike through the woods.

I'm still laughing about nut hockey.

I can't wait to explore these places with you!

We used to explore all the old dams in NH. There are many. That was fun, too.
