Well, this might not be my first experience, but it is my first really memorable one. All the ones before also happened here.

I was a teenager, more than twenty-five years ago. The house I grew up in was old, over a hundred years old, not far from the center of Keene, NH. It had once been a duplex, with one home on the first floor and one on the second.

Robin Hood forest is a lot bigger than people realize. Like nearly all woods in New Hampshire, it stretches out from the town that gave it its name and connects with other forests to build a network of trees that covers much of the state. Most people just stay on the trails and think its just part of the park, but there is so much more.
