There has been a record breaking heat wave across the central plains that has moved into the NE. New Hampshire normally has sunny mild summers but the day we arrived it was 90 degrees. It cooled off to 72 degrees overnight so we ran our a/c all night for the first time ever. Today it was 94 degrees. We decided to take it a bit easy so we did a short walk through the Flume at Franconia Notch State Park in the White Mountains. Very pretty place with a gorge with 80 foot granite walls that are only about 20 feet wide in places. A stream with cascades and waterfalls runs through the gorge and it is in the trees and relatively cool and shady. Even so with the heat and humidity we were both wet dishrags by the time we were done with the short 2 miles. Fortunately, the heat is supposed to break in two days and be a more normal mid 70s. Then we can hit the bike and hiking trails again.
