That inch and one eighth of the coast line of New Hampshire....US.
I am not sure that when one thinks in his heart of hearts, little Valentine's day lingo there, about New Hampshire ..... that he thinks of the Atlantic Coast.
At least I don't for the most part. My thoughts are more inland usually. Mount Washington, Lake Winnepasaukee, Wolfeboro, Meredith and a ton of other places. Generally, not ocean. But look on a map. It's there! From Portsmouth south the Salisbury.
Mostly Rocky. Mostly exposed to the elements. Often fogged in. The water is always COLD. Hey, it's up north. They have about an hour and a quarter of summertime. Just foolin with ya! But you get the picture.
Speaking of pictures, here is one of the Rye Beach area just south of Portsmouth.
On one side of the famous US RT. 1A are turn of the last century old homes with manicured lawns and gardens. On the other side is the above! What a way to wake up every morning.
Did I mention rocky and foggy?
Just think of the tenacity it took to weather the storms, high water, fog, cold and lack of good soil jut to get to that age!
