While we're in Alstead Center, let's skip over to River Road in Surry... Suzanne drives this road home from Alstead. When Jess and Ni took Greg home during the auction, they were told not to drive over River Road. Now I'm glad they took a different route.

This one's taken in Acworth but I had to include it because I like Acworth. 

This is Route 10 in Gilsum.

On October 9th, so many NH roads were closed that Channel 9, WMUR in Manchester, NH, posted a page of road closings. It looked dire for Alstead.
