These groups are treated to guided tours Nature trails and Woodland Garden by the knowledgeable staff that describe the Dlj\ldJkfi\=i\\GXib`e^ ecological and cultural history of the gorge and show how Earth's powerful forces created Lost River. The guides explain how thousands of years ago, receding glaciers caused entire mountainsides to plummet from the steep slopes of Kinsman Notch Montshire Museum of Science creating the attraction's famous Boulder Caves. Visitors see how the power of rushing I-91, exit 13, Norwich, VT water carrying tons of sand and gravel scoured out giant, smooth-sided potholes that 802-649-2200 are constantly and infinitesimally growing in size. They take with them a greater understanding of the natural marvel as well as memories to last a lifetime. "The White Mountains are ancient, older than the Rockies and the Himalayas, www.montshire.org and are home to long extinct volcanoes and an ocean basin," said Kate Wetherell, august 2013 | Summer in new hampshire | Page 7 General Manger at Lost River Gorge, who holds a degree in Geology. One of the many informational signs throughout the gorge points out a pegmatite dike, a striking, jagged vein of white rock spearing through the darker host boulder; a direct result of superheated volcanic fluid finding its way through fissures in the granite. This stony witness tells a story of unimaginable upheaval that took place here over 300 million years ago. "People have so much fun investigating the gorge and boulder caves, that they don't realize they are learning something about the region's geologic past," continued Wetherell. All young explorers, ages four through twelve, have the opportunity to become Junior Gorge Guides through an entertaining and educational program offered at the attraction. By reading and understanding signs posted throughout Lost River, they are able to answer questions listed on a quiz card they receive at the beginning of their quest. The completed card is then checked by a staff member and the newly designated Junior Gorge Guide receives an official sticker and a surprise. "The kids love looking for the answers to the quiz questions," said Wetherell. "It's a lesson about the natural world disguised as a treasure hunt," she commented. Lost River features not only the popular caves, river and boardwalk but also gives guests the opportunity to walk along the Ecology Trail, pan for gems and fossils at a sluice or simply enjoy the spectacular view of several mountain ranges from the patio or picnic pavilion.

4th Annual Chili Challenge to benefit Kingswood Youth Center Wolfeboro, NH – Calling all Chili and salsa lovers! On August 17 from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM you can give your taste buds a little trip “south of the border” just by walking through the Durgin Stables Green in downtown Wolfeboro, NH at the 4th Annual Kingswood Youth Center “Chili Challenge.” You be the judge! The People's Choice Award is determined by ballots cast by patrons (you!) who pay an entrance fee to sample all of the chili entered in the challenge. You can even go back for seconds to help decide on the best. You will be given three ballots to vote for your favorite chili. The Judges' Award will be determined by a blind taste test by a panel of judges comprised of representatives from each of the towns that comprise the Governor Wentworth School Distrcit.
