Born and raised in the same county. Naturally, I feel very connected to the place. I&#8217;ve been pretty much everywhere there is to go in New Hampshire with the exception of the far north near Canada, though I hope to change that soon. While the state definitely has its flaws, there&#8217;s nowhere else I&#8217;d like to have grown up in. Beautiful scenery, not too big, not too underpopulated or overpopulated, and it&#8217;s relatively geographically centered in New England, allowing for equally easy access to other New England states. While I may end up living in Maine or Massachusetts, as of now, I hope to live in New Hampshire for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-15280 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-franconianotch-mountain\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-franconianotch-mountain-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Franconia Notch, New Hampshire\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-15286\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-15286'>\n\t\t\t\tA mountain framed by trees.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-greenfield-stream\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-greenfield-stream-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Greenfield, New Hampshire, Stream\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-15290\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-15290'>\n\t\t\t\tA stream near a road in Greenfield.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-greenfield-bridge\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-greenfield-bridge-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Greenfield, New Hampshire, Covered Bridge\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-15289\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-15289'>\n\t\t\t\tA covered bridge over a body of water.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-wearenh-winter\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-wearenh-winter-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Weare, New Hampshire, Winter\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-15287\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-15287'>\n\t\t\t\tA field lightly covered in snow during late Fall.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-sugarhill-pond\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-sugarhill-pond-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Pond in Weare, New Hampshire\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-15291\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-15291'>\n\t\t\t\tA pond during the evening.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Location 2: Vermont &amp; Adirondacks<\/p>\n<p>This summer, I traveled to Burlington, Vermont and various locations in the Adirondacks in New York with my parents. I had been to the Adirondacks before, but that was over half my life ago. It was nice to go back. While I am biased in favor of scenery near the ocean, it is still beautiful. As for Vermont, I have some history there. I originally attended the University of Vermont in Burlington. It did not go well for me. My mental and physical health suffered quite a bit. I ended up leaving as a result. I still have good memories of the place though, which is why it&#8217;s always nice to visit. This time the focus was more on the nature surrounding the city than the city itself.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-15280 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-vermont-beach\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-vermont-beach-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Beach in Burlington, Vermont\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-15292\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-15292'>\n\t\t\t\tA beach in Burlington, Vermont during evening.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-vermont-rocks\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-vermont-rocks-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Rock in Burlington, Vermont\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-15288\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-15288'>\n\t\t\t\tA large rock with trees on it on the shore of Lake Champlain.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-vermont-harbor\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-vermont-harbor-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Harbor in Burlington, Vermont\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-15293\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-15293'>\n\t\t\t\tA harbor in Burlington, Vermont including the rays of the Sun.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-adirondacks-stairs\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-adirondacks-stairs-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Adirondacks Stairs\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-15300\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-15300'>\n\t\t\t\tVery old outdoor stairway in the Adirondacks.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/project-1a-jack-johnson\/jackjohnson-project1-adirondacks-ausable\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jackjohnson-project1-adirondacks-ausable-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Ausable Chasm, Adirondacks\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-15299\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-15299'>\n\t\t\t\tAusable Chasm in the Adirondacks.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Location 3: Acadia National Park<\/p>\n<p>Acadia National Park is the favorite vacation destination of my family. We&#8217;ve been going to Mount Desert Island every summer for as long as I can remember. Admittedly, it was a bit nicer when it wasn&#8217;t so popular. For example, it used to be possible to just drive to the top of Mt. Cadillac, now you need to make a reservation. Despite this, it&#8217;s still well worth it to visit every year. I&#8217;ve seen many of the same trails, hiked many of the same mountains, seen many of the same views over and over again, and it never gets old. I believe it&#8217;s the most beautiful place in the northeast. I also look forward to visiting Bar Harbor every year. We always walk the sand bar and browse shops.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-15280 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div
