The northern slope of Mount Kearsarge is home. I spent my earliest years living in Andover village, at the base of Kearsarge. His stately, flat top will always be recognizable to me from wherever he rises up from the horizon, and when I go near him, I feel like I could lie on the soil of his dominion and become part of his very roots. I have climbed to his square-blocked, rocky summit many times; my first climb was when I was six years old, and my forty-something mother, refusing to be outdone by the younger moms in my first-grade class, insisted to my teacher that she would most definitely be one of the chaperones on our field trip up the steep Winslow Trail. Here he sits under a dramatic skyscape in a pose most familiar, just off NH Route 4 just north of the Andover town line.
