Thanks in advance.

Every commute up here is measured in "minutes"—not miles. But every "minute" during summer is a delight.

I've taken the suggested routes on my occasional stops at NHIS—and to Concord several times last summer. I happened to go to Concord yesterday, and enjoyed one of those rare "commutes" that is actually scenic. The cutoff through Chichester might save a minute when the school isn't in session, as it's a lo-o-o-o-ng School Zone.

In yesterday's morning drizzle, I was entertained by the sight of a motorcyclist speeding northbound on Rt. 28. Although New Hampshire doesn't require helmets, eye protection is required. This driver had neither windshield, glasses or goggles—and against the raindrops, was peering between his fingers!

Sounds like he had the eye protection thing in order

From my house in Wolfeboro to the mall in Concord is 50 minutes. There is NO comparison between a 50 minute commute in NJ and one in this area of NH.

rte 28 is generally a delight. Worst volume is maybe around 7:30am when all the state employees are heading in to clock in at 8am. It's not uncommon for traffic on Main St. Chichester to be backed up past the fire station all the way down to the hairpin curve.

The drive is less pleasurable since the DOT put in the #%$^ lights in Pittsfield.
