Diane and I managed to get out for a longish hike around 9:30 this morning. We went from Bolton Notch road back through the Long Trail to home.. about 2.5 hours at a very fast pace.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#8217;s one of our favorite hikes.. .. Today it looked completely different.. the trail was covered with leaves&#8230; We saw things we didn&#8217;t see during our hikes in the summer or on snowshoes in the winter.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here&#8217;s a cool bridge over a stream made by the roots of this tree..
