The route was
11 North to Franklin then around Newfound lake on 151/154? back to 11 North to Rumney
following railbed to Lincoln then the Bike path through the notch (all on11N)
then 12 north to Berlin catching 19 N to 28 East through Nash Stream
Then 7 N through Colbrook
with almost NO SNOW IN COLBROOK!Then picked up 21N to 21A N to 128 into Clarksville to Camp.
Then took 21 North to 141 then 147 to 5N to the border.
Way home was 128s to 21A s to 21 S
Follow to 5S all the way to 28W and so on.
I have the 07 F8 SnoPro and could not have asked for a better riding sled for this ride. 5 years ago we did a Bearbrook - Littleton Ride and after 150 miles could not sit on the sled anymore. the new "F chassis" is HANDS DOWN BETTER than the old style sleds. THANKS AC

Hey good pics - figured I would mention where they were taken. Those first 3 or 4 were -15F temps
too bad you fell asleep at 6pm and missed the 10 deer feeding
Hey - you missed the Berlin Fire - forget to take pics while riding through town?
