Winter in the Boundary Waters. We pull sleds with our gear across frozen lakes, set up a canvas tent with a wood stove. It’s pretty cool to see familiar wilderness areas in the winter. We are fortunate to enjoy many options for year-round recreation in our region.

Discover Weeks Brick House –Tracing Your Roots in New England

As Fall continues it seems to make our thoughts and souls seek comfort, seek out our roots and reconnect with places from our past, childhood places, places our ancestors came from or just places that resonate with us that have a deep history. Whether you seek your own roots, I share a personal place, the Weeks Brick house 307 years old still standing where it was built on site with native bricks and witness to early America as it transitioned from colony of England to the United States of America. Also a few quick tips on spending time in Portsmouth New Hampshire.
