I feel blessed to have come from the "Surprisingly friendly poor people" and "Underrated scenery and some trees" area of NH. I didn't realize how lucky I had it as a kid.

I had to take route 123a when route 12 was closed one day for work and holy crap thats one hell of a beautiful road.

Yep. It’s my favorite road ride in the area. It’s a bitch to climb, but the descent is epic and you can just look around at all the gorgeousness.

Really, why? Do you mean it’s less of a bitch to climb on a motorcycle (obviously), but that you have to really pay attention to the road on the descent?

It does have a special, unique quality in its beauty that I haven't found anywhere else in my travels. Pillsbury State Park seems to encapsulate it publicly, but I find joy in its back roads, hills, woods, fields, and old farmhouses. I feel like it's one of the last places in Southern NH that money will change. It's much the same today as it was 45 years ago.

On the flip side I've noticed a bunch of new builds in the area I grew up in. Didn't realize it was it was happening, but after leaving NH for a few years, and coming back, it's amazing how much of the land has been cleared and built on.

Yeah, I've seen new builds come in over the years, but didn't see any clear cutting. That's sad.
