MODERN TIMES. ON OUR TRAVELS, IT’S TRUE. I DO LOVE TO SRTTA THE DAY AT A DINER ALAS DURING THE PANDEMIC ALONG WITHHE T REST OF THE FOOD INDUSTRY DINERS HAVE TAKEN A PUNISHING HIT BUT DINERS HAVE A PARTICULARLY TOUGH BY DESIGN. THEY’RE SMALL CONFINED EXTREMELY LIMITED SEATING. SO HOW DOES A DINER ADAPT AND SURVIVE NOW SINCE WE WERE IN THE AREA WE STOPPED BY A CLASSICAL FRIEND THE LANDMARK PETERBOROUGH DINER TO SEE HOW THEY WERE DOING AT FIRST. WE STARTED TRYING TO DO TOGOS, BUT THAT DIDN’T TAKE OFF VERY WELL. SO WE ENDED UP CLOSING FOR LIKE A MONTH AND A HALF UNTIL WE COULD AT LEAST DO THE OUTSIDE DURING THE WARMER MONTHS. THE OUTDOOR SEATING HERE HAS BEEN A GODSEND AN OPTION MANY DINERS SIMPLY DON’T HAVE ALREADY. THANK YOU INSIDE. THEY’VE MADE SAFETY CHANGES A NEW EASRIE TO CLEAN VINYL FLOOR BACK TO BACK FAMILY SEATINGN I BOOTHS NOW DIVIDED BY PLEXIGLASS ON THE PLUS SIDE. IT’S OPEN HERE. THE COFFEE’S POURING AGAIN, AND THERE’S COZY COMFORT IN ALL OF THAT. EVEN IF THINGS ARE A BIT DIFFERENT INSIDE. IT’S GAT TREO SEE THAT THEY ARE STILL OPEN. THEY ARE OWN BUSINESS. YEAH. YEAHOO FDS GREAT AS ALWAYS AND LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE THESE DAYS. THEY ARE JUSTRT YING TO GO ON HERE YOU’RE HANGING IN WE ARE HANGING IN THERE. YEP. HOPEFULLY WE’LL BE HERE FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS. I’LL EAT TO THAT .IN NEARBY FRANCIS TOWN A WATERY MYSTERY ON SEOM MAPS. IT’S HAUNTED LAKE ON OTHERS. SCOBY POND. ’I'D HOPE TO BRIEF STOP MY CLARIFY THE MATTER. IT WAS FSTIR KNOWN AS HAUNTED LAKE THE TREES ALL AROUND HERE HAS THE LEGEND ESGO THEY ALL BURNED DOWN AND THEN THEY WERE JUST STUMPS. SO SPOOKY SPOOKY. YES, UM, IT WASN’T JUST THE TREES MARTIN OF THE FRANCIS TOWN. MIRACLE ASSOCIATION ALSO FILLED US IN ON THE SUSPECTED MURDER WAY BACK WHEN AS WELL AS THE TRAPPER KILLEDY BA MOUNTAIN. SO WE KNOW THE LAKE HAS A BODY COUNT OF AT LEAST TWO. WELL, WE DON’T KNOW WHETHER THEY'R’ BOTH TRUE OR NOT. ONE BODY HAS BNEE FOUND. SO THERE’S THAT I WOULD SAY THAT NOW PEOPLE KNOW ITAS W CALDLE HAUNTED LAKE BUT FOREVER THROUGH MY CHILD IN A LONG LONG BEFORE IT’S ALWS AYBEEN CALLED SCOBY AND THAT’S HOW PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN IT. THE LEGENDSRE A FUN. I THINK REN HOWELL OWNS THE FAME SCOBY HOUSE. WHERE IN THE 19TH CENTURY THE ORIGINAL OWNERS? SONS MAY HAVE HELDPE TO CREATE THE LAKES HAUNTED REPUTATION SO BRAD, THIS IS THE AREA WHERE THE NAIR DO WELL SCOBY TEEN BOYS WOULD CAUSE A LITTLE TROUBLE. YEAH THE BEST I CAN TELL THIS AND ACROSS THE ROAD SO THERE’S KIND OF A WETLANDS THEY COULD HIDE IN AND SCAREHE T HECK OUT OF PEOPLE TODAY ALL PAST LENEGDS ASIDE FOLKS HERE HAVE A LOT OF WORDS TO DESCRIBE THEIR LAKE BUT SCARY ISN’T ONE OF THEM CHRISTINE BEAUTIFUL. JUST WONDER ALL IT’S WHERE I LEARNED TO SWIM WHERE I LEARNED TO FISH. I STILL SWIM IN FISH. AND YOU KNOW, IT’S IT’S A NICE EACPL DESPITE ITS HAUNTED NAME IT HAUNTED WITH GOOD MEMORIES. I’D SAY NOTHING HAUNTIN ABOUT THE END OF OUR DAY. PLENTY OF PEDDLING THOUGH THE MOST RAIL TRAIL. VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ALONG THE PISCATA QUOGUE RIVER. SO IT’S VERY BEAUTIFUL LOUISE ROBEY OF THE NEW BOSTON CONSERVATION COMMISSION. LET ME ALONG THE TOWN STILL NEW RAIL TRAIL, WHICH FOLLOWS THE PATH OF A FORMER LOCAL LINE THE NEW BOSTON RAILROAD, WHICH SEASED OPERATIONS IN 1931 THE DEPOT STILL HERE,UT BHE T RAILS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY A RECREATIONAL TRAIL WHICH WDSIN EAST FOR JUST UNDER FOUR MILES NOW MARKING ITS FIFTH AN NIVERSARY. IT’S BECOME MORE POPULAR EVERY YEAR. BISHOP INCOME ON OUR TRAIL TO ACCESS THE RIVER BIKERS. JOGGERS CROSS COUNTRY SNOWSHOE. WHAT’S UNIQUE IN STRIKING EVEN TO A FIRST-TIME USER IS HOW UNUSUALLY WOODED THE TRAIL IS LEADING PEOPLE IN ANDUT O OF THE TREES WHERE ONLY A TRAIN WANTS ME ENTERED SO THERE WAS ALWAYS INTESTINREG ON A RAIL TRAIL, YOU KNOW TO BE REMINDED OF THE ACALTU RAIOADLR PASSED. SO THIS WAS AN ORIGINAL RAIL STOP. YEAH, THEY USED TO COME PICK UP APPLES AND EGGS AND BAKED GOODS. IRONICALLY THE BOSTON RAIL TRAIL IS HERE AT ALL BECAUSE A SLLMA GROUP OF LOCALS 40 YEARS AGO BOUGHT THE LAND TO PREVENT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ALLOWING LOCALS TODAY TO SAVOR. WHAT WAS SAVED? AND TED TLSEL US THAT ALTHOUGH SHE WAS TOO HUMBLE TO SAY IT LOUISE ROBEY AND HER HUSBAND HAVE BEEN THE DRIVING. FORCES BEHIND BUILDING THE NEW BOSTON RAIL TRAIL THE GOING FORWARD IS THAT THE TRAIL ULTIMATELY WOULDE B CONNECTED TO THE NEIGHBORING GOFFSTOWN RAIL TRAIL CREATING SOME OF THE MOST WOODED AND SCENIC BIKING IN, SOUTHERN, NEW HAMPSHIRE. COMING UP A MOVING MONUM
