The yellow block designating the hot 90-degree weather for Thursday on the National Weather Service website helped convince a lot of recreationalists to head for the water. Some still hiked before hitting the water.

As I drove out the Kancamagus Highway from Conway mid-morning, headed for a moderate hike up Mount Potash (2,700 feet), cars were lining up on the roadside in pursuit of a quiet spot to sun and swim on the Swift River.
