Sometimes a cloudy, wet day can be a great time for an immersion into November woods. Thursday it didn’t rain as predicted. Yet the forest floor was soaked from night rain. In the morning, I decided to head from Tamworth over to the Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area in Moultonborough to hike some of its late autumn trails.
On Route 25 in Moultonborough I turned left on Route 109. In a few miles at a fork, I took a left on Route 171 and, in half a mile, a left on Ossipee Park Road. Winding up this 1.3-mile-wide road built for trucks descending from the C.G. Roxane bottling plant brought me to the wide grassy area known as Ossipee Park. Immediately passing the historical Lee cemetery on the right, I pulled into one of the area’s hiking parking lots just beyond it. There were no other cars.
