Boat Registration Notice! Print E-mail
Written by PLIA Staff   

Due to changes in the state's Boat Registration process the Mountain Road Trading Post will no longer be doing boat registrations.  The last time we checked, Wildlife Taxidermy & Sports at 2188 Candia Rd, Manchester (tel 603-625-9958)  was still doing boat registrations.. And, you can still register your boat at the State of NH DMV. We know alot of people wait until the last minute and run down to the Trading Post to register your boats. This year you'll need to plan ahead!

Thirty Days of Kayaking at Least Once a Day on Pawtuckaway Print E-mail
Written by Stephen Soreff, MD   

The rules are every day starting with August 26 that I am home-sleeping in my own bed-I will kayak on Lake Pawtuckaway for at least thirty minutes.  Why do it? Because it is there-my red kayak sits on the shore and longs to move across the waters.

Day 1 - August 26, Saturday - a check on turtle cove-nothing but sun peeking through so Ansel Adams’ cloud formation

Day 2 - August 27, Sunday - off to see Tom Duffy-no one about, meet Bob who just bought an old small house on the lake-he had a beard-white and smoked a corn comb pipe-neat conversation.  He will raze the house and build a new one on its footprint and extending landward.  He owns a lumberyard in Boxford, MA. Also one loon guarding the entrance to our home and beach and one Blue Heron perched on the dam rallying
