Photo Day

Before they installed home stands that stretch the length of the field it was hard to find decent photos of the Butler Bowl, where Dartmouth will open the season in September. The stands covered just one part of the home side with fans having to sit on a bank from midfield to the end zone. Here's what it looked like.

With the stands complete they are now selling photos of the facility. To see more aerial shots of the field – which still has minimal seating at best on the visiting side – check out this link.

It was another one of those days when I go out for the paper with Cooper the Wonder Dog and come scrambling back in for the camera. Yesterday's snow is gone (except for what came off the roof) and while Hanover was shrouded in fog everything was crystal clear up here on the shoulder of Moose Mountain. What a difference a day makes!

The view this morning from our driveway. If you click to supersize there's
a white dot just below the clouds, two-thirds of the way to the left. That's
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
The view from across the road. The "cloud" is fog on the Connecticut River separating New Hampshire and Vermont. The ski areas are Killington and Pico.

Yesterday's snow is almost gone. 
The lilacs made it.
