As is my tradition, I spent the last weekend of April in southern New Hampshire, visiting my sister and attending the spring hamfest known as NEARfest. Every April and October I bunk work to attend the flea market on its first day, the Friday of the weekend, and then return on Saturday to make it a two day affair.
I had a glorious time on Friday and the weather was perfect and this year and I was fortunate to sell just about all of the old gear and abandoned projects that were taking up space in my basement.
So instead of returning to the flea market on Saturday where I’d no doubt run the risk of succumbing to the temptation of spending my Friday windfall on new radios that would most likely sit in in the basement untouched for months on end, I decided to take a leisurely drive home on Saturday morning and make a few stops along the way in and around my hometown of Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Here are some photos from my visit to the Merrimack Valley. Can you go home again? I think so.
